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
Yes. For some reason or another, they seem to vanish. Obviously for some might be burnout or wanting to go do something else (constantly monitoring or posting about social/political stuff, especially when it’s going the WRONG way as it has for decades, can really begin to get to you) or family matters.
Some pass away and they might not have relatives or close friends that can let us know what happened. I know there was a brilliant inventor fella from Montana who was older (as he told me) and he kept intimating that he might not be around for much longer, and then he just vanished. Alas, c’est la vie.
One of our greatest posters. Heartfelt prayers to his friends and loved ones.
Looks like we’re on track to that. Let’s see if we can do it.
bttt
You ain’t made your bones on FR until you’ve been suspended a few times. ;-D
I’m so sorry to hear this. He was a wonderful addition to this site.
Hey, don’t be in such a hurry ! Go travel and visit some purty national parks and remember that we still do have some good stuff down here.
2DV would tell you the same, I’m sure. ;-)
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
In light of your sterling service, you are hereby promoted and reassigned to Highest Command.
Upon arrival on-base report to the Supreme Commander for Intake Ceremonies, and to receive further instruction.
We are informed that you will be billeted with your new cavalry unit for training in support of Operation REVELATION 19:14.
GOD SPEED, SIR.
Is it possible to add this post to the original header of this thread?
Thnx
Hopefully so. We, and they, will have to step up. Eternal vigilance to monitor and combat evil.
2ndDivisionVet and I were both 96B’s. Back when that was the enlisted order of battle MOS. We use to exchange memories of assignments.
Happy Veterans Day 2ndDivisionVet. A true warrior. Always wonderful to converse with you on this forum.
Rest in Peace sir.
RIP!
Check out his photo above.

Thank you!
Handsome indeed!
96B was my SMOS. 98C was my primary.
