The story of SGT. Joseph Proctor It all began when Joseph was a high school regular. Everyone was the same when Joseph went to high school. People got into trouble, they got whipped by their fathers; just like anyone else in the world. He may have had it hard in the beginning of his life, but it was easier as it went along. Joseph has 2 older brothers and a sister. Eddie, David, and Vicky. His father's name is Lloyed, and his mother's name is Sharon. Joseph grew up in the Whiteland community before it was converted into the township of New Whiteland, where everyone knew him and befriended him. One event in his life when he was a high schooler was when everyone picked on the elderly man down the road from him because he was a grouch. Every kid on the block didn't like this guy, not even Joseph. One afternoon, this man's lawn was thick and tall; all the kids in the neighborhood who Joseph was hanging out with called him nasty names for it. Mostly because he was such a burden to others. Joseph took time out of his day to get his dad's lawn mower, and he push mowed the man's entire lawn until it was below ankle height. No one knows why he did this act of kindness, even when the man did not deserve it. One thing is for sure, he was giving to people what no other man could. He was helping those who could not help themselves, even if they weren't completely kind to Joseph. By the time he was age 17, he signed up for the Army, turning 18 and being relocated to Germany. Him, his pregnant wife Beth, and his son Joseph Allan, moved to Germany just in time for the Berlin wall to be demolished. Beth had her daughter in Germany a year before they were, once again, relocated back to the states. Joseph eventually signed for National Guard instead of the Army, and employing in Heating & Air. He was a well known, kind installer working under his boss Jeff who was also a family friend after he got the job. A memorable moment as I grew up with Joseph, he took me one day on a trip out to some old folk's house. These people weren't very economically fit to get a brand new AC unit installed, but Joseph insisted that they pay him a tiny ammount of money when they can instead of the full ammount. He struck me in this moment. I didn't think that this man was as kind hearted as people say, but he proved me otherwise. In the year 2001, Joseph was interested in the news for the first time other than the weather. Reports of a suicide bomber plane was announced on public television in New York. Of coarse, George Bush forced us to go to war with Iraq after this happened. Which Joseph decided to reenlist in active duty to give all the young soldiers a break from fighting. He believed that they shouldn't be over there fighting because they are too young. They haven't started a family, or they have JUST started a family. So Joseph was notified when his 2 week leave was to be deployed to Baghdad Iraq. It was a bad time for his mother Sharon. She believed that something bad might happen. She, along side everyone else in the family, loved Joseph very very much. Seeing him go was the worst thing I had to see. He went to Iraq, and made friends along the way. He gave little Iraqi children black liquorish. The second he did that, was the very second they came back for more. Joseph was very happy to be helping these kids out by giving them a little snack. Who knows when they ate last. Joseph came home on leave just before Thanksgiving. This is when everyone in the family got together and everyone who wanted to see him outside of the family came over to his mom's house to see him. Lets just say that it was one crowded house! After his leave was up, he went back. I remember him telling me that if he don't come back, I need to look after Beth. Everything was fine and dandy up until May 3rd. Beth was on video chat with Joseph the day before, but the signal was hazzy and lost connection without a reason why. Turns out that when they lost connection, an Iraqi ambush was made on the communication tower. May 3rd, 2006, SGT. Joseph Proctor noticed a dump truck full of explosions heading his way toward the bunker full of a ton of men. His instincts kicked in. He knew in his heart he would regret what he is about to do, but knew in his soul that this action will save everyone in the bunker from being killed. Joseph grabbed his assult rifle, and opened fire on the driver of the dump truck driver. The seat to the truck was a trigger to the bombs in the rear of the truck. The truck exploded, sending extremely hot sheet metal into the sky. Unfortunately, a Marine was in the wrong place at the wrong time with Joseph. Joseph would have made it alive from the explosion, if it had not been for the sheet metal flying into his forehead, killing him instantly. Now for the marine, I am unsure what exactly happened to him. But he will certainly not be dishonored in this document! Thanks for your service Marine!..SGT. Joseph Proctor is a very memorable man. He is on the clip, American Heroes, soluted by the Military Channel and everyone around the world who knows his story.
