You see that kind of stuff in movies and dont realize the true meaning of some things until you're hit with something like death. He was a true hero.

Wow...this hits home hard..it's surreal when it's someone you know and used to talk to a lot...my heart and prayers go out to his family. If there is anyway we could all...idk..sign something and send to his family just showing them how many people cared for him, I think they would like that.

This is sad news.
I remember a while back he made a post talking about some action he had seen. He described hear a .22 being shot off near him. He was then told it wasn't a .22 but it was a rifle round whizzing by him. Sad I never really new him in person, he seems like he was a great guy.

wow RIP havent kept up

RIP dude, the world needs more people like KK.

he was KIA 4 month to the day of his last post here.

it says silver star here, but the grave says bronze star. i've heard of people being nominated for something, but it looks like he was actually given a silver star, posthumously of course.

holy shit...I don't even know what to say
