Friend of my brother’s from Murfreesboro TN was killed last Thursday in Afghanistan.

22 years old and had a wife and baby he had never seen

His second tour.

Chaplain came to the door just like the movies....she didn’t want to open the door poor thing.

Damn...just sucks all around.

That is two from Murfreesboro in a month. The other one was right out of high school.

I had a cousin killed outside of Mosul in 2004. IED hit the humvee he was in. From the Arkansas National Guard.

Sucked then ... sucks now (for the family of your brother’s friend). However, Jeremy was where he wanted to be and knew that some things were worth fighting for.
