Fallen Patriot Commemoration
This Interactive American Flag is dedicated to:
U.S. Army Sergeant
Jonathan B. Shields of Atlanta, GA
[ listed as second resident of Atlanta killed in the Global War on Terror ]

[ by Terrell Herbert on display at the Atlanta Fine Arts League ]

​SGT Shields, 25, served in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF)
with 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment (Armor), 1st Cavalry Division from Ft. Hood, TX
Killed on November, 12, 2004, during a night time combat operation when the M1 Abrams tank he was commanding rolled over in an un-marked trench in Fallujah, Iraq

We honor and thank SGT Shields for defending our freedoms and fighting to liberate the lives of others.

Star-Spangled Inspirational Quote about SGT Shields:
 ...  from an Army teammate of 3 years, SSG Glassner via FallenHeroesMemorial.com ...
"I served with Shields in the same company for about 3 years. He was a great person to know, and even better man to have on your side. Shields could always get a smile out of me no matter how mad or depressed I was. He just had that thing about him that no matter how bad things seemed everything was actually alright. I always knew if I need anything that I wasn't able to get Shields would know someone that would take care of us, that was the type of person he was, he knew everyone and everyone liked him. It was a privilege to have known him, and an honor to have served in combat with him. He will always be missed and never forgotten. See ya on the other side."
