:cry:

It's a shame that your coffin will return in the darkness and your death will pass unnoticed by so many.

1. so fucking sad

a baby boy to some loving parents killed for no reason.

2. Unfortunately the reason for his death is greed. Only he didn't know it.

And I doubt that his parents know that their baby boy died for the machinations of the republican party and for a chicken-hawk deserter who took our once great country into an illegal war.
I weep for this young mans soul. I hope he is resting peacefully. He did, indeed, give the greatest sacrifice a person can give for one's country.
When I read these stories, I am torn between grief for the deceased and anger for the injustice that has made this nightmare a reality.
