Sleep well tonight...

[jawsf16]

... There are men and women unafraid to stand in harm's way for your freedoms.

I lost a colleague, a student, and a friend yesterday who was half a world away, loaded to the teeth in a Block 50 Viper, on his way to take the fight to ISIS. In his words, "a single seat, single engine, supersonic defender of freedom."

Throw a nickel on the grass for Will...

I thought of you when I read about the crash yesterday. Very sorry for your loss and thank you to everyone that makes the sacrifices that allow us to sleep safely in our beds!

At first I thought this was an old thread...

Another reminder of the sacrifices our military men and women, and their loved ones, make for all of us.
Thank you to all who do and/or have served, particularly to Captain Dubois.

Bryan, again, so sorry for the loss of a fellow aviator and defender of our freedoms and way of life. My thoughts and prayers go out to Will, his family, his friends, and all who knew him. Thank you Will for your commitment to our freedom. And Bryan, thank you for allowing us to share this with you. Thanks to all of you that have risk your lives in defense of our great nation, and to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice, our nation is here today because of them.

So sorry for your loss. Praying for comfort for his family friends and brothers in service.

Spent yesterday at the USS Arizona Pearl Harbor memorial. Freedom isn't free indeed.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately these stories are too common in my business and the community is pretty small. It's been a tough couple of days at work because we all knew him and trained him.
