Im so sorry for what the parents are going through. They are great Americans and raised the best possible human on earth. Im sorry dad and i understand that last hug you spoke of. I lost a daughter. Infantry is 1% of all military and RANGERS are 1% of that. This is how special your son is. Godd bless. RIP brother. RLTW.
