Why do we Brits, and the Yanks, have to be in that fekkin Stone Age country? Why can't we just let the bearded motherfuckers kill each other??? Fekkin Pakis.

Alex, you were an amazing guy. You also are the most merciful Airsoft shooter in the world. I know how much that you were to my Dad, and Nate Thiess, and you will definitely not be forgotten. But, we can all agree that you are safe with God now, and that you always will be. See you Then, Alex.

Alex, you will never be forgotten. You were one of the best karate instructors a girl could have. You served your country and now its time to rest in peace.

Alex, you are not forgotten by your comrades in arms in this act to rescue a severly wounded Dutch soldier. May God protect you on your journey to paradise. You will never be forgotten.

Yesterday I saw the documentary about Alex van Aalten and Cor Strik on Dutch television.

Alex is a true hero. He offered to cover the body of Dutch corporal Cor Strik (who stepped on a landmine)so his colleagues didn't have to see their mate like this. During this operation he stepped in a mine himself.

Alex and Cor, both 21 years old and both true heroes! May you 2 rest in peace....

[Texgame]

Rest now young warrior.

See you at the final formation and roll call.

You are remembered, Sir.
