Brother Down

[SmokeAndMirrors]

Well...the inevitable happened today. After being out here for several months and conducting mission after mission and taking a couple casualties here and there...a brother fell today...KIA. He was our leader out here. I know that all say "you signed up for it", but it doesn't make loss any easier. Being with an ODA team it is even more crazy to think about. Granted we do more hardcore and unseen stuff...but these guys are supposed to be invincible...not really, but you know what I mean. So today has been somber, but the mourning will turn into celebration of life and we will carry on. Please just keep my brothers in your thoughts

Man that's always tough ...that's family. Sorry for your loss and of course you know he'd only want you all to carry on

That blows..

Im sure news will be circulating around other groups I keep in touch with soon...

Find comfort in knowing that he died doing what he lived for.... and something he believed in....

it was a life well lived.. and should be celebrated..



The Special Forces Prayer

Almighty God Who art the Author of Liberty and the Champion of the oppressed hear our prayer.

We the men of Special Forces, acknowledge our dependence upon Thee in the preservation of human freedom. Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved.

May we ever remember that our nation, whose oath "in God We Trust," expects that we shall requit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men.

Grant us wisdom from Thy mind, courage from Thine heart, and protection by Thine hand. It is for Thee that we do battle, and to thee belongs the victor's crown. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and glory forever,

Amen!

A loss is a loss no matter how you dice it...

My prayers go out to you, and all of those who are feeling his passing.

 

[TammyChulo]

Sorry to hear, bruther. I'm on the search and rescue side of the navy, and it hurts every time seeing this happen. I hope everyone else is safe out there and that you all get through the deployment without any more losses. Take care and our thoughts are with you!
