Yeah, tough break for sure.

Thanks for the post.

To anyone who has not visited Arlington, you need to go.

He was dealt a bad hand and keeps on fighting the good fight.  That constitutes a true warrior.  Glad he has a loving wife and strong support system.   cooldude

I wish the best outcome for him, he deserves it. The best of the Best.

The discipline and correctness of the Changing of the Guard at Arlington, is amazing. When I was there it was respectful silence. No need to remind the veterans.  It was impressive!

    The kids and I went in 2013. No adjective to adequately describe seeing this memorial. Very emotional to say the least.
    I agree with Hook, if you have not seen it be sure and go see it.
    He was hand selected for a reason. The country needs more young people with an attitude such as his and a dedication to this great country we live in.
