I was a career soldier.... 25 years. My Son Aaron Smith was on his second tour in Afganistan when he was killed.

When he was born I had no direction in life, no real idea on how to be a father to this young child in front of me, so I did what I hoped would make him proud of me, I joined the army. He changed my life.

Aaron was on his 1st tour to Afganistan when I was on my last tour to Iraq.

I am proud of my son and I loved him very deeply. Right now his death is more than I can bear.

Rest in peace brothers. Your sacrifices will not be forgotten.

We now approach the second anniversary of the death of these fine men... and as a family member of Stephan Mace, I can say that time is not a healer.... we struggle to make sense of his sacrifice... and all the others that have been made... my heart breaks for Aaron's dad.... as your sentiments reflect those of my husband's.(Stephan's father).... sending blessings, strength, wisdom, and love to all the surviving friends and families of those lost....
