Default Lost my Brother-in-Law and a patriot

I just needed to vent about a bad thing that happened to our family this past weekend. My Brother-in-Law Sgt. Ellis Brown was riding his Harley with a couple of soldier buddies of his and had wreck that caused multiple injuries that took his life at 43. He had given 24 years of military service. I considered him a brother, American hero, and protector of our family. He was divorced and raising 2 daughters he is leaving behind 3 altogether, 24, 21, and 13. My wife and I are taking in the 13yo.

I hope this doesn't make anyone mad, but I know there are a lot of patriotic guys on this forum and I didn't think anyone would mind if I vented for a bit.

Ellis is on the right.
