We lost one of our own (Colockumelk)

Reading his last several posts is a tough one.

Very sad day.

Aaron's F.O.B. took rockets and he died from wounds sustained in the attack.  Aaron had a 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter.  He was his sons hero and mine!  He wanted to fly since he was a little boy and he really was living his dream!  It still doesn't even seem real like its just a bad dream.  He flies into Dover on the 25th and I will be there to meet him and bring him home.  He was my best friend and brother.  He was the best man I ever knew.  He stood tall, left his family and life to protect us from the evils of the world so they would never come knocking on our doors.  Looks like I will be chasing elk solo from here on out!  Keep the wind in your face and take it slow brother!  I love you!

WOW, this sucks. Can't believe I could be choked up about someone I didn't know other than thru the sight. I guess we are all one big family. We'll keep up the fight to protect those elk for ya brother.

Prayers go out to the family and friends.  Never easy when you know the person.  Didn't know him other than conversations on the site.  My heart breaks for a brother in arms!

this is the hardest thing I've had to do. Colokumelk was killed in action in the last few days along with 1 other soldier and 1 injured in Afghanistan.  I just got the call and I don't have much info. I'm just setting here praying they were wrong. if or when I know more I will pass it along. He was a good man and was proud to serve. I will be praying for his friends and family

There are 4 pages and I have only begun to read this, so I am hoping and praying this is bad  info ! Prayers to friends and family if this is true(I hope not)!

So sorry to hear, will be praying for BLRman and family
