Am so terribly proud of him even if from a distance….
Here is a photo site dedicated to his memory

One news service reported that his platoon had been engaged by insurgents in about 35 firefights over the summer months, and there he was, still giving it his all. We should give thanks for these men and the work that they do on our behalf; work that itself is often thankless.
There’s a tribute to him on YouTube that’s very moving.
