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
Dear Mrs. 2nd Division Vet,
My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your husband. My prayers for all of you and the repose of his soul in Heaven.
I’ve “known” him for several years now here on FR and always enjoyed exchanging stories about our military experiences and comments on other topics.
Blessings to you and your family,

ASA Vet, Thank you for pinging me about 2ndDivisionVet’s passing. We’ve exchanged many stories about our Army service with each other over the years.
Vedome, thank you for informing us about 2ndDivisionVet’s passing.
Sorry to hear that. As I recall, we had some good discussions.
Our loss on earth, his gain in Heaven.
RIP
My prayers for his family. A sad loss.
I knew he was not well physically, but his mind was sharp and all posts from him were well thought out and interesting.
An exceptional man. I like to think of him now as whole again in spirit and soul.
I plan to make a FReepathon contribution in honor of his name and his being an exceptional FReeper.
RIP buddy, you were an honorable man, a real patriot.
Ditto!
