My colleagues’ son was killed yesterday in Iraq. He was 19 years old and had barely begun his life. A young man who was proud to defend his country and signed up after 9-11 to fight terrorism. He wrote many letters home questioning being sent to Iraq rather than after the terrorists. His letters about how the troops felt about being in Iraq where full of confusion about the mission there and regret for signing up to defend America and ending up invading and colonializing other nations.

He was a hero, and will be remembered.

Sorry to hear that, Echo. I'm glad to hear he was proud to serve his country, though. His family will be in my prayers.

You have my condolences. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear that Echo...but I am glad through the entire mess he was proud of himself...as well as we all are.

His family as well as you are in my prayers.

Rest in Peace, Brian. You're gone but not forgotten.

Rest in peace...Brian

Sorry to hear this Echo....

Rest in peace Brian.

Sorry to hear about the loss, echo. Serving your country- no matter what the reason - is one of the greatest things one can do. May he rest in peace.
