Peter Burks, so when he clicked on it, the link took him to a dating website. The problem is that Lt. Burk had been killed in 2007 in Baghdad. So the elder Burk has filed a lawsuit against PlentyofFish.com and True.com. From <a href=\"http:\/\/ap.stripes.com\/dynamic\/stories\/T\/TX_FALLEN_SOLDIER_WEBSITES_SUED_TXOL-?SITE=DCSAS&#038;SECTION=HOME&#038;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT\">Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Alan Burks said he plans to donate any money awarded in the suit to military charities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me, this is making sure that the honor and legacy of Peter is protected,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But also it concerns me that they would use the likeness of a live soldier or someone else.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Both companies have said that they&#8217;ve removed Burk&#8217;s pictures and that the lawsuit shouldn&#8217;t have been filed, but that&#8217;s kind of missing the point. They stole the picture from the Burk&#8217;s Unsung Hero Fund website with complete disregard for the young man and the family&#8217;s loss.
