He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?

I had the honor and privilege of training alongside him and his team while they were at JRTC last year before their current deployment to theater. He was a mentor and friend to me and a professional in the truest since, RIP.

God Bless,Rest in Peace Warrior.......

He was just a simple soldier and his ranks are growing thin
But his presence should remind us; we may need his like again,
For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.
If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say:
OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SOLDIER DIED TODAY. (author unknown)

The passing of our soldiers often go unnoticed and unsung by most of the world, remembered only by family and friends. Wish it were not so. May this Warrior RIP, his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
