Lets not forget that another one of our brave men were killed in this attack.  If anyone on here knows how to look that kind of thing up I would like to know his name.  We must remember them all.

They dont release names until they are sure families are notified officially to prevent crap falling on a crappy thing.

Very sad day indeed.  My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of a hero.

I'm just stunned, I feel like one of my mules kicked me right in the gut.  This just breaks my heart for his family.

BLRman, I am 133 miles from Dover, it's a little far, but you and you're family are more than welcome to stay at my house and if you need transportation or anything please let me know.

WOW!  I don't know what to say.  What a waste of a good man.  Sending a ton of prayers to his family.  Wow.

  Thank you for the offer.  I don't know what arrangements the Army has lined up for me.  Doesn't matter its not like I am gonna eat or sleep anytime in the near future.  I just want to get him home!

I just got a call from my wife who works at a school in Selah.   Everyone is in shock and in prayer for your family.   A gal she works with has a son that was a real good friend (grew up with him) and is also in Afgan.   Lots of little people lifting their Hero up.

I understand, I'll PM you my cell number.  Use it, don't use, just know if you need anything while you are back here, please call me and I will do my best to help however I can.

I got an idea. Lets get a paypal account setup for BLRman and lets get him enough to buy the gov tag next year so he can go get that bull of a lifetime for Aaron??? We have almost 13000 members if we all gave less then 5 dollars we would have enough to get that tag.

  

I am so sorry for what you and your family are going thru. Celebrate Aaron, and the wonderful life he lived!!
Prayers
