The landlord who evicted a hospitalized soldier from Fort Hood, Texas, and is accused of selling and trashing the soldier’s belongings, is reversing course, supporters said.

Tommy Atha has promised to reunite Sgt. Mark Porrazzo with his belongings after Porrazzo’s platoon leader posted an open letter about the situation on the pro-soldier Guardian of Valor website. ...

I went to the website for Guardian of Valor and found this posted on July 29, 2012.

Real Estate Agency Evicts Hospitalized Soldier
Posted on July 29, 2012 by Bulldog1

WE ARE ASKING THAT EVERYONE STAND DOWN FROM CONTACTING THE REAL ESTATE AGENCY. AS WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THEY ARE WORKING WITH THE FAMILY AND THE SOLDIERS CHAIN OF COMMAND. THE SOLDIER WILL RECEIVE HIS BELONGINGS BACK, AND THE FAMILY IS HANDLING IT FROM THIS POINT FORWARD. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT THE SOLDIER, THE SISTER HAS SETUP A SITE FOR YOU TO SEND LETTERS ETC. YOU CAN FIND IT IN THE COMMENTS SECTION. SINCE OUR GOAL HAS BEEN ACHIEVED, ENSURING THE SOLDIER WAS TAKEN CARE OF, THEIR WILL BE NO MORE UPDATES TO THIS STORY.

THANKS TO THE REAL ESTATE COMPANY FOR COMING FORWARD AND HELPING US OUT WITH THIS.

So this left me with a couple of questions. What makes this story "premium" and why did they report it after the site they referenced asked people to calm down and stop contacting the real estate agent? I go on Army Times a couple of times a day and this morning was the first time I saw this. Granted I usually don't click on the premium section, but I doubt I would have missed this story this long. Anyway, August 2, 2012 must have just been a slow news day for them but I don't remember it ever being a slow day for them.
