I'll pray for him just as I am praying for all the others. As you probably know, I have been following one of my old units pretty closely and it sucks when they have to announce on their website a new death.

I've been ordering "Hero" Bracelets for those killed and me and my nephew (adopted son) where them in their honor.
hero bracelets? where do you find those? i know some folks who would be very interested in purchasing them and wearing them to honor those who have fallen, not to mention myself. i hope the news accounts are wrong somehow and the numbers are much lower
