Major Christopher Galloway Dead at [FReeper M1Tanker, RIP]

"On June 30th Major Chris Galloway took his own life. He had come back from Afghanistan in April, and things just weren’t the same we’re told."

"Why’d we lose him? Who the hell knows. There is no rational reason for doing such a thing, so using reason to figure it out is both impossible and ineffectual. It accomplishes nothing. In the end, he’s still gone. For the sake of his wife, his kids, and for ourselves it’s better to remember him for who he was. Given that he was so much to so many, there’s a lot to think about. He was a husband, father, soldier, a writer for Flopping Aces, and I consider him my friend. We all consider him our friend. May God bless him and give him peace. He’s earned it."

Thank you :(

We have a widow and her small children to pray for, folk...

Rest in His peace, Chris...

Terrible news.. I read the other thread earlier. PTSD is serious, and very real. So glad you pinged the prayer list. I also pray that this will increase prayers for those who
suffer from ptsd to get help from those who are very good at treating it.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Our Military need prayer....so very badly.

Read the comments at Flopping Aces. His wife posted on there, so did some liberal troll. They don’t have a shred of decency!

[metmom]

The mods have said before that if you want to make sure they see a request that doing it through the abuse button will more likely bring it to their attention than just pinging them.

Since the change hasn’t been made, perhaps they haven’t seen it yet.

This is heartbreaking.

R.I.P Patriot, fellow American and fellow FReeper.

I read some of the posts but for the sake of my monitor I left before I found the troll, besides, the screen must need to be cleaned, it got awful blurry :(

[Beloved Levinite]

Thanks for the ping. Heartbraking. Damn, we need all the Patriots we have...RIP Fellow FReeper

[MHGinTN]

... but thank you for pinging me.

Tragic .. so so sad. May he be at peace; Lord, comfort and sustain his grieving family.

His last post from Afghanistan last November

Excerpt:

"2. We have noticed that the tone of the reporting has changed dramatically since the election and the Animal Farm/1984ish antics of the leftist media are so transparent that we can only sit and laugh because crying out at the arrogance, bias, and stupidity is useless. I am still waiting for the media to use a less than flattering pose for the President Elect as they have for the current President all through the last 8 years!!!

The only poses I see are so engineered and flattering that even Stalin and “Kim the Ill” in Korea would be jealous. The pure sycophantism and worshipfulness by the media is disgusting beyond measure! The worst part is I know it will only get more so. (Sorry Scott, I do not think the media will ever stop with their blind worship and witch-hunts of critics)."

His last post - thanks janet napolitano and all the rest of you at Homeland Security only too ready to demonize your fellow citizens for being different than you - conservative... If Janet had been around in the 60’s she’d probably be spitting on our guys as they came home from war...

I have just returned from a tour in Afghanistan only to find that I am now considered a potential ‘terrorist’ by the DHS...

Meanwhile REAL terrorists from the left wing (ELF/ALF/PETA/ANSWER/ACT/ACORN/WWP/Code Pink/et al) and Islam (Jamal al Faqua, AQ, HAMAS, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, etc) are either causing real damage or planning major attacks and they are pointedly IGNORED. Some now receive government funding.

Un-freaking believable... Wait, considering the treason and collusion of the left in the past 8 years, very freaking believable, but still disgusting.

We’ll miss you, M1Tanker

Prayers up!

Prayers for the man’s family and for his soul. May the Lord have mercy on him and be with his family through this difficult time.

Heavenly Father, you know the depths of our anguish and despair and how difficult it can be to find some sunshine in our darkest hours. Be now that ray of hope for a grieving widow and her children ... wrap them in the mantle of Your love, that they might be sustained. Thank You for the life of Major Christopher Galloway ... bring those most beautiful and brilliant memories of him to the hearts and minds of his family ... may the beauty of his life overcome the tragedy of his death. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, may it be so, Amen ...

[Fawnn]
