A New York hero dies in Afghanistan.

From the Daily News:

His heartbroken parents said last night the death of their “baby” – the youngest of four children – was almost too hard to take. “The only consolation is that he really believed in what the men are doing over there,” said Calero’s dad, Ray, 65. “They offered him a promotion several times, but he turned it down to stay with the Special Forces,” the father said.

God bless him, his family and friends, and those still fighting.
