I am very sorry to hear that, it's never easy when you lose a brother.
I sure hope there will be some payback in true Marine Corps fashion.

God bless him and his loved ones.

I terribly sorry for you and for his family.

I lack the words to adequately describe the gratitude I feel for the people like you guys. I greatly appreciate the sacrifices you all make for the rest of us Americans.

My prayers go out to his family and all those who were lucky enough to call him friend.

There is a special place for him in heaven.

God Bless the troops

I've always had a heroic respect for corpsmen. I'm a firefighter, and can relate to a very small degree. Firefighters have a similiar occupation, with the biggest difference being, we don't rescue people while getting shot at or with the other hazards of war, and the people we typically help are not our close friends. Being able to work on a buddy while he may be mortally wounded, takes a very strong person. Their bravery is unequaled. I respect, admire, and appreciate all of the members of our armed forces, past and present, but I have a special respect for the corpsmen. True heros indeed. I was on duty last night, said a prayer for Him, His Family, and OneShot One Kill. Then laid in bed, comfortable, and safe, I couldn't get you guys out of my mind. Thank you again for all you guys do for the rest of us, safe at home. I'm at home now, I thought about that also, when my shift is over, I can come home to my wife and family, you guys can not, just one more reason to say thanks. God bless you all.

Sorry dude.

Thanks for the kind words, you all.
It's just a Black Day today and everyone is dragging tail. An empty spot at the Cigar Circle tonight.
3/7 is turning over with 3/8 and 3/7 has taken a beating the last few days.
We've a tradition of forming up when the Helo comes to fly out the body. The gang forms up in a double line and salutes when the guy's buddies carry him to the Helo. It's hard to think of one of your guys in that black bag on that stretcher.
The Marines are spun up. When they came tearing in this morning, hell bent for leather, and began offloading, it was tough.
I ask one LCPL," Where's your Corpsman! Where's your corpsman!"
He's crying and puking. Another guy is yelling and throwing his helmet at the ground, and my corpsman is the one they are offloading.

I'm getting very little tolerance for the ROP.

It's late and I've still got some paperwork to catch up with and a letter to write and 3/7 is looking for some payback. Let's hope its all one-sided this time.

There are no words to describe the respect I have for all of you, and the hatred I have for the ROP.

Prayers to you and the family of your fallen Corpsman.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Doc, he'll be in our prayers tonight, fwiw.

I can't tell you how much we love and appreciate what you all are doing over there.

''War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing worth a war, is worse. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their own free choice - is often the means of their regeneration.'' [The Contest in America]

When words escape me I often steal the words of others.
John Stuart Mills wrote these words in an essay called "The contest in America"
That contest lives on, as you well know.
If he made it to you, and still didn't make it, you know there wasn't much you could do.

He gave selfishly so that others might live

Just venting a little.

Don't get mad, get even! I pray every day for the safety of our troops and that more support grows for the war so that we can take any doubt out of the terrorists. Oh, and I am also praying that the anti-war people eat shit and die.
