RIP, and thank you, very much.

(please help me out a little because the link isn’t clear... he set up a blog for service members to leave a final message, just in case, and he passed away?)

Godspeed, patriot. Godspeed, man of honor.

We owe you more than we can ever repay. In Heaven, we shall settle our debts and reunite with our Father.

Your name will remain burned into our hearts.

"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.

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.
