Our greatest ally has lost another great young man.

We mourn the loss of this, and all the fine U.K. troops.

We real Americans recognize and appreciate the service and sacrifice your great country has made!

Our most heartfelt condolences.

Charlie the sniper · 08-23-2009, 10:49 AM

hkruss ..THANK YOU.
It is sad when any of our Hero's are killed or wounded. When I say "OUR" this is UK, US, Canadian or any other nation fighting for "OUR FREEDOM".

"GOD BLESS THEM ALL

hkruss · 08-23-2009, 10:56 AM

Absolutely. Well said.

I would be remiss to not mention the service and sacrifice of ALL of our allies!
My apologies for this omission.

For any that remember the TV coverage of the Iranian Embassy siege. John was one of the guys in black at the front, on the balcony. It was his son tragically killed.

Another fine young man gives his life for a comrade. A man who died, so others might be free. A hero, giving his all, for country and freedom.

Yet, our media still fawns over the death of an 'entertainer'. What madness!

I cannot begin to explain how much I agree with the above, and how much it angers me. I wont go on, I guess I would be preaching to the converted, but the world is on its head.

I humbly and heartily echo the sentiments expressed here, sharing in the grief and gratitude for those who chose to fight, and gave their all for freedom.

Marlin T · 08-25-2009, 10:04 PM

Charlie I'm praying for you and all active duty personal. May God be at your and their side forever.

That was a sad day as is every day we loose somebody in the line of duty.
