A press release from U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's office:

Jordan Mayor Ron Jabs issued a proclamation in honor of U.S. Army Pfc. Joshua Anderson, a Jordan resident who died in Iraq.

Anderson’s parents, Keven and Lynn, attended a Jordan City Council meeting to accept a framed copy of the proclamation, which Jabs read aloud Monday on behalf of the rest of the council and himself.

As he handed Lynn the proclamation, Jabs told Anderson’s parents he was proud of their son for serving in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Anderson died Jan. 2, when a roadside bomb directly hit his side of a Humvee.
