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

2nd D, going to miss you. I had set up a gofundme for him to remodel his home to make it more handicapped accessible. He accounted for more than half the posts here. Rest In Peace Soldier!

Thanks.

Man, we have lost a bunch of great FReepers...

[topfile]

A great American and a great loss for the republic.

Too many gone too soon. 2DV still should’ve had decades ahead of him. Just missed his 60th birthday, which would be early next year.

Rest in Peace dear FRiend!

Every loss of a true patriot is a serious detriment to the nation these days. There seems to be less and less of us around anymore. We now have young people that think that Socialism or Communism might be a good idea. We have failed to pay enough attention to how our children have been educated and just who we have let provide that education.

RIP. I don’t always post a lot but when I did he always replied. Seemed kind hearted and funny.

[Laslo Fripp]

Godspeed good FRiend.

Very sad a real class act. RIP 2ndDivisionVet I’m going to miss you

[windsorknot]

I’ll really miss him. RIP

So sorry to hear this. I mostly just read comments now and then. Certainly 2ndDivisionVet was a rock-solid fixture in the FR world as long as I have been here. “They don’t make ‘em like that anymore!” He was a main attraction.
