Rough morning... a local boy that graduated in 05’ that I had the pleasure to meet, just got home from Afghanistan... in a flag draped coffin...
Half the town was at the airport, flags in hand, tears on their cheeks, standing in the rain, to honor him... funeral is on Sunday...
He was killed when a $#!thead drove a SVBIEB into his patrol...
From the local paper:

God bless him and comfort his family.
I’m so sorry g’nad.
Oh, damn.
I see by the article that the other troop killed by the same VBIED is from Battleground, WA.
Sorry to hear this sad news. The gathering was fitting for your town’s fallen hero. Their bravery and courage should inspire us all to strive to worthy of their sacrifice. OB & LSA
