White Lake soldier laid to rest Kropat was ‘the battle buddy everybody wanted’ WHITE LAKE, NY—Under unusually blue skies, Private First Class Jason Kropat posthumously received a purple heart, bronze star and other honors at the Reformed Presbyterian Church on Route 17B in White Lake on March 19. Kropat, 25, who grew up in Smallwood, was killed in a firefight on March 9 in Khost Province in Afghanistan. He had only been in the country for about six weeks. His father, Glenn, came up from his home in Texas to attend the funeral. He said of his son, “I think the most amazing thing he did to make his parents proud was to sign up for the U.S. Army to serve his country. I saw a transformation in him that made me utterly amazed.” | |||||

The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on March 18 that it will undertake just such a study, which will take two years; the agency so far has $1.9 million to do it. |
