"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."

Thanks for the ping Kathy in Alaska. I read this thread earlier and felt such sadness that I couldn't comment at that time. A tragedy and a great loss. I trust that Major Galloway is at peace now in the comfort of God's love. I pray that God comforts his family. I also pray that God comforts M1Tanker’s FR friends.

He had his own reasons and whatever they were...they were his own and he dealt with them the only way he knew how. God bless his family and may he finally rest in PEACE.

R.I.P.

The media has for the most part stopped covering the WOT. Neither Obama or Baghdad Bob Gibbs talks about the WOT. Janet Napolitano is a mistake. Gates is awfully quiet. It appears they're just denying all circumstances while Bambi is prancing around the country like he's this superior being.

I support the troops. That guy in the white house is not brilliant - he's just a fast talker...

God bless that lovely family.
All I have seen in my mind all day is the pictures of the Obamas at the Grand Canyon having a ball, like there are no cares in the world. Everything revolves around them.
How many children will never be able to go vacationing with their fathers ever again while the Obamas stay on vacation that is paid for by their dads lives? What a waste!

[Allegra]

May God bless and God rest.

Prayers up for Chris's loved ones who remain.

To borrow a phrase, just................damn.

I’m so sorry to hear this and join with everyone here lifting up the loved ones for God’s peace, blessing and guidance.
