The family of George Lindley Taber, one of two soldiers killed last week in Georgia, is asking the public for prayers.
"2nd Lt. Fitzgibbon was an incredible leader of character who exemplified Army values and the West Point ideals of Duty, Honor, and Country," the statement said."The entire West Point Community and the Long Gray Line share in this loss and are keeping the Fitzgibbon and Taber families in our thoughts and prayers."
According to military officials, Taber entered the Army in March 2017 and finished advanced individual training at Fort Benning, Georgia. He completed the special forces qualification course in 2018, as well as the combat medic course, military freefall parachutist course, and survival, evasion, resistance and escape course all prior to being assigned to 7th Special Forces Group at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
Taber was awarded the Army Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, Non-Commissioned Officer Professional Development Ribbon, Special Forces Tab, Basic Parachutist Badge and the Military Freefall Parachutist Badge, officials said. "Your kind words mean everything to my family and to me personally," Coker wrote on Facebook."I don’t have it in me to begin to reply yet. With visits from Quint’s Chaplain and Sergeant-Major yesterday, we are learning more and more about our son’s service and relationships with his much-respected brothers."
