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
Hate to hear this. What a huge loss to FR.
Prayers for his family.
Oh no!
2ndDivisionVet, you brought a lot of joy and learning to a lot of people. you will be missed.
I’m sure you are in heaven now and regaling all your comrades in arms with stories and keeping them enthralled.
May God bless you — and even more your wife and family. It’s always harder for the ones left behind.
Very sad news indeed. His posts will be missed.
May you rest in peace 2ndDivisionVet.
This is shocking news! I can’t imagine FR without a post from 2ndDivisionVet. Such a loss for Freepers but Heaven had gained a caring soul. May God grant him eternal rest.
Me too. Class of 98 here.
Big shes to fill. MHRIP.
I’m so sorry to hear this. May God bless his loved ones with peace and comfort.

I’m so sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace and God comfort his wife.
I don’t comment nearly as much as before. However, this life and passing is worthy of being noted and remembered.
Farewell and Godspeed.
Sad day.
Go with God, FRiend!
My heart goes out to his wife and loved ones!
His faithfulness to this community was extraordinary.
He will be missed.
Sad to see you go, my old friend. I had no idea that you were were in any physical distress, much less, close to leaving us.
You’ll be missed, buddy. You were a real asset to this community and a fine Texan.

Rest In Peace.
A very good poem.
I read about 2ndDivisionVet’s passing over at MeWe and FB groups that I follow. I’m greatly saddened at such news.
Condolences and prayers for his wife, family and friends.
Many of his posts were announcements of jobs coming...You could see where his heart was: the dignity of work; hope.
RIP
rest in peace, FRiend.
