If we might contact the sender and get a home address we might want to send a care package or donation in the form of savings nbonds if he had some kids. A little from each of us might go a long way. Just a thought

This was written for Submariners lost "on eternal patrol"; but it's the only appropriate memorial I know:

”There is a port of no return, where ships
may ride at anchor for a little space.
And then some starless night the cable slips,
leaving only an eddy at the mooring place.
Gulls veer no longer, Sailor rest your oar.
No tangled wreckage will be washed ashore.” :usa:salute:

I guess this should not be too surprising, but it breaks my heart nonetheless. May God grant peace and strength to all those who love him, and may he rest in peace knowing that the Unites States is humbled by his sacrifice!

It is sad to lose a soldier and fellow BOTL, but it does the heart good to know that we all directly affected this man's life before his untimely passing. He has seen AND smoked cigars directly out of our own humidors and had a couple hours of restful happiness- a small escape from the everyday stresses of life as a soldier- because of our good deeds. If we can't fight the good fight over there with those honorable American soldiers, we should at very least ensure a few moments of relaxation for them. Like I said for what they do for us, it's the least we could do.

May G-d watch over his family and fellow soldiers during this trying time.

X2. For a man who not only gave his life for our country and safety but a man who chose in life to better every one of his fellow soldiers around him by helping us help them all.

From a neighbour north of the border who supports all the troops out there doing what they do for us I give you my condolences.

Hits home a little closer when it is someone that we have touched.

I will raise a glass and toast some leaf in his honour tonight.

May they all be as safe as they can be.

I feel for the families of the fallen, as an ex-service man myself who saw combat in the Falklands and the 1st Gulf Conflict as well as other active duty roles, my head and heart goes out them all. I have a brother out there in Afghan at the moment and a front line Officer. British Officers in this day and age lead from the front, by example.
