Well Curtis, that sucks. America lost a good man indeed... I love the tattoo's he had... a proud American Soldier. The kid's he leaves behind can always be proud... in memory of the man & American Soldier he will always be. I am really sorry about that. you are a good man for helping the 13yr old & seeing she will have support & love.
I believe there is a special welcoming when soldiers finally go home... in a place so much better than ours... the hard work, loyalty, selflessness, & love for their country... enduring anything that comes their way... I can't help but believe God has welcomed him home with the words: "well done, good & faithful servant"....
RIP Sgt Eliis Brown!! Semper fi & thanks for your hard work... WE ALL SALUTE YOU WITH SAD HEARTS ONE MORE TIME.
