I have tears in my eyes after reading that and I never knew the man. I feel like I do now though, so understand your essay did this hero justice. That's not a picture of him down, is it? I've known you were military for years Cheater, and although I know today is Sean's day and yours will come in November, allow me to thank you for your service to this country every day, and I'll say a prayer for Sean's family immediately and for the foreseeable future. God bless, sir.

By the way, you don't have to like or agree with your government to honor, and respect our service members. There's a time and a place for everything, so be nice in this one thread, please.

And yes, that top picture is of Sean taken shortly after he was killed. |

Cheater, that certainly was not a ham-fisted effort. In fact, it was an eloquent and poignant essay about your friend, Sean. Thank you for sharing.

That picture is hard to look at
Not that it would've brought back your friend, but I certainly hope the terrorist died a miserable death for what he did and what he represented |

RIP Sean. Thanks for posting. His boy will at least grow up to know his father was a genuine hero.

Jesus. That was tough to read. I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a day to remember, but it's also a day to thank others, such as yourself and Captain Sims for doing what few others have done by placing themselves in harms way for the benefit of the freedom which we all enjoy. So, thank you, Cheater, and God Bless Captain Sims Family. May he RIP.

I read this this morning right after it was posted and have tried to think of what to say. As a man who served in lots of different areas while in Special Forces I know the heartache of losing a brother or sister. I know the courage and sacrifice it takes to kick the door in and go through that door as bullets slam all around you. I know how lucky I am to have went through thousands of doors and come out only with scratches and catching some in the plates.
I have spent years trying to understand how I have made it out of situations I was in and men better than me didn't. I have tried to make sense of how men who were great humans in everyday life are the ones who pay the biggest price, while an asshole like me goes in and comes out. Cheater from one brother to another I know no words will replace your brothers who have been lost. All I can say is even though we have never met if you ever need anything I will be there. |
