My sisters boyfriend, and a good friend of mine, jeremy brookes has died in iraq today,id just like to say that he was a brave man and died doing his duty and that he was never afraid of what was to face him over there. this war is bloody senseless and brave men are being killed for no good reason,i hope its all over soon,i really cant beleive things like that happen, war is a thousand miles from me and it feels so close now, its strange. im not sure if any of his comrades were killed today but if they are ill put them up on this post with jez's tribute. may he rest in peace.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6678533.stm this is the attack he died in. damm sick people dancing around a corpse, i hope it isnt true.
Damn. I'm sorry to hear that and wish you're family and his the best. That is some heartbreaking stuff. Truly heartbreaking. Hang in there.
thanks guys, it means alot, i think, before this i wasnt sure but i thought i was in agreement with the war, but now i think im going the other way. and its just weird because when you see a soldier reported dead in the news you dont really think about it,you just carry on eating your dinner feel sad that another soldiers dead and get on with things. but when your friends with them it adds a new dimension to the thing. i just feel sad for his mom, he told her he was in cananda on exersizes to stop her worrying, i cant imadgine how she feels right now.thankyou for the support everyone.
jeez tommy - thats awful. My condolences to friends and family. All I can say is what goes around comes around. they will get their commupance for what they did to your friend.
