I'm so saddened by this, what a handsome young man this was, who obviously had such respect for the country we enjoy every day! Some people are just so special that God needs them to serve as his angles! That's truly the only reason I can think of for a death this tragic. My prayers are with his family and loved ones! They must be a great family to raise such a young man, who served his country selflessly!
