Lost a Colonel friend in Iraq this way. What a terrible loss. I could go on for a long time on the conversations in the command. He was a great guy, just fantastic. I don't know what all led up to it but the aftermath was pretty sad. Really miss him.

I think the most awful part of it is the thought of his loneliness just before he died. THAT is what bothers me the most. The losses others have posted just remind me of that. It does make one look at suicide in a much different light. One of sadness and loss. I miss Mike.
