    Ok I gotta vent a little here and try to clear my head up. Its been rough couple of days for me finding out a friend is now gone and a virus in my rib cartalage (drugs are great thing)

    Just found last night watching the news that Dan Fedder was killed. Many would’nt bat an eye and just think another minnsota boy lost his life in war. I grew up with this guy I know his family and serve just as he did. I dont know how the heck I feel about all of this just a jumble of emotions, this makes 4 I have lost in the wars hard on my heart and see families I know hurt.

    Dan may god rest your soul, your mission is complete rest easy Marine all is secure

    thanks for looking guys and letting me vent.

    Oh man, that’s tough to hear. Understand that a lot of people get real choked up when they hear about another soldier that’s not coming home, lots of people.

    Take care, hug your wife, have a cold one, do whatever you need to do today.

    And Thanks again!

    Truly a sad situation. We have attended a couple of funerals for former neighbors and friends that have lost their sons and a daughter in this war. I understand the emotional roller coaster your experiencing, and hope you, your family, and your friend’s family can find peace. Though I don’t know him, I know he meant everything to someone. I’m humbled and grateful that he was willing to give his life to contribute to the freedoms and life my family and I enjoy.

    To all that are currently and have served
    THANK YOU!
