I received word from 2ndDivisionVet wife that he passed away.
I am not using his real name here out of respect but, will ping his handle and his wife can if she would like.
I didn't ask what he died from but, knowing him for better than 10 years, I knew of medical conditions and a few terrible Operations he had.
He was a wonderful human being who cared deeply for his fellow Americans and the ideals that make this country so great that people the world over want to come here and be free, live in liberty and be whoever they want
If you have ever spoke with 2ndDivisionVet, you know he was quick witted and wry.
What had always amazed me about him was not just his humor but, his ability to somehow take life in stride despite all he endured and be cheerfull.
He was amazingly resourceful in scouring the web for article we might find interesting.
Yes, 2ndDivisionVet really cared about all of us and our presence in his life gave him purpose
I really wish God had let him stay but, my thoughts are more selfish than the absolute knowledge that he is in a better place.
I hope to see him again one day.
Rest in peace and smile down on us 2ndDivisionVet
RIP. Hand salute!
Wow, I am shocked. I think he must have been posting right up to the end. I knew he had health issues, but did not know it was that bad. God rest his soul.
Think we are all on a list, at least those of us that go back to the Clinton era. Hell, my father got a visit regarding me from the cia at his place of work (so, yeah, they were who they said they were...) Cia isn’t supposed to be domestic, but they interviewed my dad about me. Never found out why they did so, as i am a very law abiding patriot, so i wonder if it was because i was a member of this site. May have been a combo issue of my membership here and my father’s job at the time. They never contacted me. Very disturbing and confusing situation. Would have been nice to have been given some kind of explanation.
Another mainstay gone.
RIP. He was one of my favorites. My condolences to his wife and family.
Hooah 2d Division Vet. To his family, Hang Tough as Major Dick Winters of Band of Brothers fame used to say. The Lord will watch over your family and give you peace.
Same here.
So hurts to lose such a dear patriot and BELOVED Freeper!
He will be greatly missed by many. Prayers to the family.
May GOD’S rest and peace that passes understanding be with 2nd Division’s wife at this time.
I am thankful for knowing 2ndDivisionVet through Free Republic and his posts. He touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.
This Cold War Army vet will sure miss our comrade-in-arms against the darkness.
Thanks to you, 2DV, for all the things you’ve done.
I salute you.
Now, go rest high on that mountain, FRiend...you’ve earned it.
Rest in peace.
A great lost to FR, our republic and his family. God Bless.
Sad......He Was a Wise Man...Sorry for your loss Mame
:/
I noticed post 446 was deleted
Sorry, I asked the moderator to delete this post, because of the language.
Really, really sorry to hear of this.
RIP.
A great FReeper who will be missed. Prayers for his family.
This is a shock.
I don't have one negative memory of 2ndDivisionVet. Smart, clever with a dry sense of humor. He always left a good impression.
Prayers for his wife and family, in Jesus' Name.
Yeah, odd time.

Broke his heart to be away from her at that time
