U.S. Senator Mark Pryor made the following statement on the death of U.S. Army Sergeant Jason Michael Swindle, 24, of Cabot. Sergeant Swindle was assigned to B Company, 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Georgia.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Sergeant Jason M. Swindle of Cabot, Arkansas. Shortly after graduating from Cabot High School, Swindle served four tours of duty with courage and distinction, earning medals including the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.  Sergeant Swindle was a true American hero, and his service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.  Today I join all Arkansans in lifting up Sergeant Swindle’s wife, son, and all those that loved him during this difficult time.
