Gamer Killed in Iraq

Some of the posts I've seen on this board absolutely sicken me.  The fact that some people would hide behind the internet and spread their hate speech on a board MEANT for mourning a hero's sacrifice is absolutely sick and twisted in ways I can't even convey.  Why cant people hold their trolling on a serious board like this?  It's just plain disgusting

With that out of the way, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family, he sounds like he was a really good guy

It's disgusting how some commenters will try to use this blog post to push their own political ideology. A death is a death - if you don't like it, post your hate-mongering somewhere else. Leave those paying their respects here in peace.

im Muslim but i do feel sorry for every1 the died in the war it doesnt have anything to do with Islam its the way the terrorists are brought up and tricked by others into believe the wrong thing. R.I.P

Test Test

The young dead soldiers do not speak.
Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses:
who has not heard them?
They have a silence that speaks for them at night
and when the clock counts.
They say: We were young. We have died.
Remember us.
They say: We have done what we could
but until it is finished it is not done.
They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished
no one can know what our lives gave.
They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours,
they will mean what you make them.
They say: Whether our lives and our deaths were for
peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say,
it is you who must say this.
We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.
We were young, they say. We have died; remember us.

Rest in peace soldier

Prayers with his family and friends during this sad time.

And for all the other soldiers out there, gamers or otherwise my Brothers-in-law included, putting there lives on the line, may God or whatever they believe in them watch them and keep them.

Rest in Peace.

That put a bit of a damper on my afternoon,rest in peace fellow gamer and soldier of the United States.

A toast, to his memory.

The Legendary 101st Airborne. The best lost one of its best. R.I.P.

Bless you, soldier.

Is it like this
In death’s other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.

The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death’s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

 

God speed.
