Sam Provance, a military intelligence sergeant who spoke out about the abuse in Abu Ghraib, another patriot who stood by his values...he told the truth as he saw it, in hopes that others could better understand what happened.

This was a good troop, who deserved better from the Army.
Here's one he recently wrote about his return to civilian life:

Sam, I wish you the best of luck.
