I suppose I should speak to the circumstances of my death. It would be nice to believe that I died leading men in battle, preferably saving their lives at the cost of my own. More likely I was caught by a marksman or an IED. But if there is an afterlife, I'm telling anyone who asks that I went down surrounded by hundreds of insurgents defending a village composed solely of innocent women and children. It'll be our little secret, ok?

RIP, and thank you, very much.
(please help me out a little because the link isn’t clear... he set up a blog for service members to leave a final message, just in case, and he passed away?)

No, it was his personal blog. He left that message with a friend to post if he did not make it back.
To: Dawnsblood
Godspeed, patriot. Godspeed, man of honor.
We owe you more than we can ever repay. In Heaven, we shall settle our debts and reunite with our Father.
Your name will remain burned into our hearts.
