"I'm telling anyone who asks that I went down surrounded by hundreds of insurgents defending a village composed solely of innocent women and children. It'll be our little secret, ok?

We'll just let that legend grow, Andrew.

I hope there is an after life, Andrew. I hope you didn't suffer much at the end..

Hope looks beyond the bounds of time,
When what we now deplore,
Shall rise in full immortal prime
To bloom, and fade no more.

What? He was a FReeper who died serving the USA. How does that make the military look bad?

My apologies. I misread the opening paragraph.

On a similar note, while you're free to think whatever you like about my life and death, if you think I wasted my life, I'll tell you you're wrong. We're all going to die of something. I died doing a job I loved. When your time comes, I hope you are as fortunate as I was.

May he rest in peace.

The actual message is quite a bit lengthier than what is excerpted here.

Thought provoking stuff. We lost a good man.

Prayers for the family of this fallen hero.
