It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of

those men who goes into battle.

I am from northern ireland and I know about war sadly, I just want to say what a beautiful young man. I dont know how anyone let him go to war, I think what a waste. I feel that this young man is a true ANGEL I really really do. I thank you for your sacrifice, but it is not enough. I just wish he were back with his loving family. Nothing can justify a loss such as this absoulety NOTHING.
