“On this past Memorial Day, an email was received by Ann Sherman Wolcott, Past National President, Gold Star Mothers of America. One of FAM’s most steadfast supporters, Matt Hagerty contacted FAM leadership to sound the alert to Sgt Thornhill’s situation. FAM Chm Martin Hudler and Pres Larry Lasky reacted immediately and established direct contact with Sgt Thornhill’s Mom. FAM learned Sgt Daniel Thornhill is a wounded soldier housed in the Fisher House in Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Sgt Thornhill lost both legs and the partial use of one of his arms as well as being burned on 30% of his body as the result of an IED attack in Jalalabad, Pakistan on 31 May, 2008. He is in good spirits and in the company of hundreds of other soldiers in similar conditions in San Antonio, Texas.
Daniel has been at the Fisher House for a year and his parents have reached out to ensure his story is known and his service, along with the hundreds of others with him, is not forgotten. Daniel’s attitude is strong and defiant and shows his spirit strong and his fortitude unswerving as he heals from his wounds. His parents love him dearly and want to ensure that his distinguished service and his immense personal sacrifice illustrate what a fine soldier he is. In order to show how much we care, FAM has posted Sgt Thornhill’s story so that Americans around the country can become aware of one of our many heroic soldiers who continue to endure and what an inspiration his attitude and perseverance have been to all. Let’s all keep this soldier in our prayers and thoughts so that he may recover to go on to greater things in life. Give your love, hope and faith to Sgt Daniel Thornhill and the hundreds of others with him in the FT Sam Houston hospital.”
I think I will try to recommend this post to my friends and family, cuz it’s really helpful.
FAM extends a solemn wish for the safety and health of all military active duty, their families and all veterans this Veterans Day 2009. For all Americans, you should enjoy the freedoms gained and liberty maintained by their sacrifices. That is what they would want. The assaults on our peace, tranquility and benevolence are misguided, cowardly and persist despite their futility, but as long as we have young Americans of this ‘newest Great Generation’, terrorism, tyranny and facism will once again be beaten back into oblivion. Warriors are the most unselfish people on earth. We appreciate and thank you. FAM and friends.
My son was in the back seat of the HUMVEE with Sgt Thornill that day. A Medic with the 173rd Abn. My son and the driver were killed that day. My wife and I have met Daniel and were honored to shake his hand and touch his shoulder. He related some funny stories about my son for the short time he knew him… Jon

OMG Jon, I don’t know how I missed this, but we just found it during our blog review. God Bless you for your sacrifice and your loss; it must pain you greatly. I served with a guy named Jim Shields, US Navy SEAL- wonder if there’s any relation. I have only talked to Sgt Thornhill’s mom. I hope your loss is tamped over time and your memories of your heroic son are never forgotten. Feel free to send us some and we’ll post them on the blog. With great respect and admiration, The FAM team.
