Devin Linehan is a cadet senior airman with the Nevada Civil Air Patrol. The teenager wanted to find a way to honor the 13 service members who were killed by Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan.

A Carson City, Nevada, boy pulled on heartstrings when he honored the 13 service members who died in Afghanistan on Thursday by playing Taps before a US flag at half-staff outside his family's home.

"He was pretty upset about the whole situation and didn't know what to do and [his mother] kind of guided him," Sean Linehan told Fox News, calling it a "spur of the moment" performance. "When we heard the news of the Marines in [Kabul] who got killed... it hit a little close to home." Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
