Another Soldier Lost.
I just found out today that a guy that I worked with for nearly 2 years and went on a date with nearly 3 years ago was just killed in Iraq. He was a great guy. He was a fellow tuner. He will be missed.

I don't know how to even explain what I'm feeling right now. I'm in a state of disbelief.

RE: Another Soldier Lost.
I just learned he was supposed to be getting married in August. I feel horrible for his fiance.[sm=smiley19.gif]
Even though he and I hadn't talked since our date three years ago, I've always wondered about him. How he was doing, What he was doing, Where he was. Every time I've passed the street he lived on or saw his cousin in my store, I've always wondered about Jason. It was comforting to know that he was somewhere in the world doing something....And being alive. Now that he's gone I just can't get my head around it.
This will be the second funeral that I've had to go to within 2 months.
The first was for my friend natalie's stillborn niece, Madeline. And now I'll have to go to Jason's.

Being military myself, i have a lot of friends, Overseas, some of which never came back. It is always the most painful when it is someone you know, but if there is one thing i can tell you, it would be remember them for what they did while they were alive, and for what they were doing when they died. These men and women going over there everyday are giving the ultimate sacrifice so that we(US citizens and Muslums)may live in peace, and free from persecution. We owe it to them to honor the fallen, and to look at them as heros. I am truly sorry for your loss, and I share your pain.
