Ivydiv Posted May 7, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 7, 2019 Kind of sad, but I bet he probably had one of the best experiences of his life with the trip to D,C, and the fellowship of all his fellow Veterans. RIP soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonT Posted May 7, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 7, 2019 Thanks for sharing this very touching story. Sad indeed but also I am glad he had a great trip, lived a full life, was amongst friends and family and didnt appear to suffer at all. You almost cant ask for a better way to leave this world. RIP to a real hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Lerenfort Posted May 9, 2019 Share #9 Posted May 9, 2019 He was among comrades and having the time of his life. Always very sad to lose someone so suddenly, but I'm sure his family will find strength in knowing he was respected as an old warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
