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
Oh no! I usually enjoyed his posts. He was a very important contributor to FR, and undoubtedly will be sorely missed here. RIP, big fella.
2ndDivisionVet was synonymous with FR. May he rest in peace in God’s care and a heart-felt thank you for his service to our country!
May the Lord hold you in the hollow of His hand. Amen.

A beautiful musical tribute to our veterans in all four armed services today (starts at 22:45 minutes in). I’m posting in honor of 2ndDivisionVet, my dad and my husband’s dad who all served and who are all with the Lord in heaven now We honor you and your service to our country.
Oh no. He was a kind guy. He reached out to me on freepmail when he noticed I was having a very rough patch and I didn’t know him. A good soul.
May he rest in peace... A wonderful Freeper and a great patriot...
Patriot. Hero. RIP.
He was an interesting poster and will be missed...rip
What sad news! He was always posting a great many articles for us.
Lord, please take care of his loved ones and help us to glorify You and be with You in Heaven.
Rest in peace. Thank you for your service, both to our country and to FreeRepublic.
Rest In Peace 2ndDivisionVet. Peace to those he leaves.
Yes it is very sad. I enjoyed his threads.
RIP, He will be missed.
I could not believe it when I read it.
Never angry, never insulting, always polite, always a gentleman, Vet represented everything good in a typical American male. Not to diminish him, but to praise him, as I adore “typical American males.”
A stranger, in one way, but a dependable friend in another way, who will be missed greatly.
RIP & Semper Fi to my favorite Freeper, thanks for posting this Vendome
Oh no...very sad
I liked him. He was a good man.
I will miss his wit and thoughtfulness.
Just by picking up a few bits and pieces of his life through his posts, I offer my condolences to anyone who knew and loved this great man and American. God bless him and may he rest in peace.
I will miss him.
