Rotarian's soldier son receives posthumous honor

"That's what this project is all about. To honor Tyler. To honor all those who've gone before," said Maj. Gen. Jerry White (retired) of the National Infantry Foundation.

1st Lt. Tyler Hall Brown, son of Buckhead Rotarian Carey Brown, was killed in Iraq in September 2004. In this podcast, Brown is inducted into the Order of Saint Maurice, the highest honor given by the foundation.

The foundation is building the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center at Patriot Park, a $91 million privately funded project being built in Columbus, Georgia, near Fort Benning, where infantrymen are trained.
