A couple days ago my buddy ivan was killed in afghanistan. ivans father was a general in the army and he just witnessed the birth of his daughter via skype. He was scheduled to come home in less than a month to see his new born baby in person. It breaks my heart to hear the news.
Ivan we love you buddy, watch over us. You will not be forgotten

Re: Prayers needed
My deepest sympathies to Ivan's family. And with utmost respect and gratitude I thank the rest of those who continue to serve in order that we can live our lives in freedom.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Let's celebrate !!

Re: Prayers needed
I do hate to hear this kind of message. My heart goes out to your friends for their loss. In reality we all lose a little part of ourselves with this type of tragedy. God bless them for their sacrifice.
