I remember when my dad was a paratrooper Captain. I was very proud. I'll never forget.

In the surrounding neighborhood, troops furious at the news of their fallen leader called in revenge, in the form of a 2,000 pound bomb airstrike and a storm of 155 millimeter artillery shells. A mosque lost half a minaret, its main building smoldering in fire and smoke.

Knight-Ridder. They wouldn't make crap up, would they?

We lost another good one. All the best to his fellow troops, family and friends. Words are so inadequate.

Thank you, Capt. Sims. You are one of so many heroes out there, fighting for us. I wish we were not forced into this war, thus grieving the loss of so many good men. May God bless your soul and comfort your family.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

For the Fallen,
Laurence Binyon

The day we are no longer able to produce men like this is the day we become slaves. Just hurts so much to lose them. God bless his family.

WE are all so sorry. Words are not enough.

Here is the 2/2 motto: Noli Me Tangere
