Jon Dunn ReportingIn the movie "Saving Private Ryan," a midwestern mother receives some very bad news about her sons that are fighting in World War II. Of her four sons, three have been killed and another is still in the field.

Brent Taylor is one of two Utah brothers who are currently serving in the Utah National Guard. He has another brother who will sign on the dotted line on Monday and another who says he will sign up soon.

Both Brent and his brother Matthew say it was just about growing up in a patriotic home and learning the value of serving their country.

Now their mom, Tamara Taylor, does describe herself as overly patriotic and of course is proud of her boys, but with an Iraq war continuing to rage, the hope of all her boys serving at once might be a little bit too much.

Matthew has already served in Iraq and Brent may soon be called. With a Closer Look on Utah's Morning News Jon Dunn KSL Newsradio.
