Very sorry to hear about your loss; I'll raise a cigar and a glass for him tonight, along with a belated VE-day anniversary

Wow, this is so sad. I hate hearing stories like this. My heart is sad for you and your family Marty. One day I hope we find ourselves in a place where we don't feel the need to send our young son's and daughters into these types of situations.

Such a sad story my brother. I know this is a rough time for you. I can't imagine how your brother is holding up. But I know he's got you to lean on when he needs a steadying hand. My prayers for the both of you and your families.

Marty, it is the men and women like your nephew that I am so supportive of the DCCC. It is their bravery and willingness to put their lives out there every minute of every day so I can enjoy the freedom that I do. I am very sorry to hear of your loss but out sounds like your nephew died doing what he wanted to do in life, serve and defend his country, which is a very noble and seemingly unrewarded calling. My next donation to the DCCC will be made in honor of your nephew.

So saddened to hear this. Based on the photo and what you wrote it appears that he really lived while he was alive. That's alot. I will say a prayer tonight for him and all your family.

Smoking a MOW Armada with my favorite beer right now; for your loss and for the anniversary of VE day. For all the troops who've fought and for those who've died in the fight for freedom, "thank you" just doesn't seem enough; words can't convey the gratitude. There's a special place in Heaven for those who risked it all and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
