Authorities search for carjacking suspects at Grand Canyon

Tumbleweed | 9:57 p.m. May 13, 2008

Imagine that, a carjacking at gunpoint in a national park - where the good guys are not allowed to have a gun loaded or within their immediate reach! Why in the world would predators ever go to such a place?

Don't you ever call SSgt Triggs a predator! He is a hero. He has gave more for this country then you will. Yes what he did was wrong, but he was not a bad person. He was a outstanding Marines that went to Iraq twice and Afghanistan ones. He was a good friend and will be missed dearly.

Staff I Agree, Travis was no predator! He is/was a hero and suffered more in war and back here in peace than most of will ever know. I met Travis after he got back, and even with all the demons he battled, he still managed to touch my life and inspire me. My fear is that his sad end will over shadow all the good HE did to help others that also suffered when they returned. He deserves better than this.
RIP SSgt

Thanks to Ssgt I realize that I'm not alone with suffering form PTSD. For a long time in my carrier I've been holding back, I was told that I have it. But I didn't want to belive it cause I though that made me a weak Marine. But thanks to him I need to get help for my familt and myself. SSgt Rip and thank you for help me. Semper Fi.
