I saw your story for the first time today and even though I don't know you. I know you served well. I'm sorry that you had to give everything. It's hard to offer words to those you don't know, but I have experienced loss as well and I think as humans we can all share that experience. I hope your pain was brief and your loved ones are healing from your loss.
