"Sgt. John Perry was killed on Nov. 12 in a suicide attack inside Bagram Airfield, a NATO base in Afghanistan. Pfc. Tyler R. Iubelt of Tamaroa, Illinois, and two civilian contractors were also killed, and 17 others wounded. Perry said his son was able to stop the bomber before he reached his target, a 5K race held inside the base... Perry, himself a veteran, called on the public to be more empathetic to the military and their family members. “Generally, as Americans, we need to be more compassionate to each other and to understand and listen and just stay calm,” he told the Army Times."
