I don't know, we don't know, who this Sergeant was or how he died, at least not yet. All we know was that he was a soldier. Someone's son no doubt, perhaps a husband, perhaps a father. We don't know yet. But this we do know Sir: You died when in service to your nation and in a foreign country.
No words are enough.
May God Bless You and may you find an eternity with no war, but only peace. Thanks to all of our armed forces, we can never say thank you enough.
