Rest easy my fallen brothers.

Can't begin to claim that I know the sacrifice.... Thank you for all that you've done that I can't comprehend. My life and the lives of all others are bettered by your ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you. A lifetime over.

Happy memorial day everyone.

Damn Kuma, Reading that list off is pretty chilling. Glad you are here with us man.

Really crazy to see how much damage IED's did early on in the war (and still so)
