This is a very sad day for our country and for those who serve her with honor!!!

I just got off the phone with John, he had not heard the story yet...

There are many Navy Seals over there so its really hard to say so quickly that these spacifically were ones directly related to the Bin Crapp'n raid. But I hope we are giving a propper response to the enemy with force and passion, right up the f'n arse!

Sorry guys, many of you know that I dont like bad language on the forum, but Im just unbelievably pissed right now!!!

May we all pray for the families of these lost men.

Awful

Yes, words can't say enough or do anything about it....

Wow, how horrible. Very saddening.

Sad day for our country. My prayers for there families. John prayers for you and your friends.

very sad indeed. prayers for the family and friends.

A very sad day indeed my friends!!!:mad:

I do know firsthand that one is indeed gone but will never be forgotten!! My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and daughter.ClydeClyde

A sad day indeed, thoughts and prayers for the families.

How many more Americans have to give their lives before we leave that piss ant country (not to mention Iraq) and bring them all home?

I was just thinking about this whole situation!!:mad:

Of the 30 Americans killed on that helo can you imagine the pain being felt now by friends and family!! Lets just use as an example that those 30 American service members who were killed all have 100 family and friends, that equals 3000 people who are mourning right now due to that one tragic incident!!! Clyde

That thought hit me as I was trying to get to sleep last night!!!

Fair winds and following seas to them and God Bless their families and friends

I know you must know at least one of these great men John.....my thoughts and heart are with you and their families. Nothing touches me more than my fellow men putting their very lives on the line to make this world a better place. That kind of sacrifice is forever remembered in my heart and every loss touches me deep. I took the oath.....and I took it seriously. These men did not go in vain, for someone is living a better, richer life, because we Americans chose to sacrifice so much to spread our blessed livelihood across mankind. We've reshaped the world....and we should be proud that we have tried to make it a better place than what we found it.

God Bless those men; I mourn their passing. Semper Fidelis and my prayers are with all those who have sacrificed and lost so much dear to them in this crash.

and my eyes water for your loss my friend John. I am truly sorry.
