Fuck I'm depressed now.

This thread is going to be a general Memorial Day thread for Kraut Killer and others who have died in service of their country both past and present to those who lived and served, or who are serving now.

Wow....I had no idea this happened. Kraut Killer was one funny guy, his posts from the early days of aa.com were legendary. A true man's man. RIP.

I'm in shock. This is definitely the closest I've been to an Iraq war casualty. He was a very cool guy - I'm glad I knew and liked Kraut Killer, he was a great bloke and he died a hero.
I really don't know what to say this is very sad news, It's terrible.

My hearts and thoughts are with his family...

R.I.P cry:

Lest We Forget.

oh your post made it sound like he literally had logged on and posted the morning before he was killed.
