College friend killed in action

1 of three guys killed by yet another suicide bomber. 35 or so, saw a picture of him with his 2 little girls. How horrible. A really great guy. Anyway, just another reminder of everything being sacrificed so I can be safe at home with my two girls. Thanks to all you military guys and families.

Very sorry to hear of your friends loss. It takes special people to do what he and the others in our military do everyday.

Godspeed.

We c-IED training systems, and suicide bombers are hard. If someone wants to blow themselves up, there isn't a lot you can do or many ways to predict.

God speed and I hope they all come home safe and soon.

Very Sorry !
We Hear about Hollywood, Hardly about our Soldiers. !
Hollywood Wants to exalt them selves .
CNN Wants to make Bad politics.
Hollywood Gives themselves Awards..But no real mention to the Folks who Gave it all for the movie(s) to be made.
Some Gave it all.
CNN and the likes sucks as well as Hollywood.
May the Family(s) find Peace and solace.
