NEWS: SG Member Killed In Iraq

oh my god

i salute your courage and your valor, brother. thank you for your dedication to our way of life.

Godspeed, and my prayers for the families of all the fallen.

Despite not having talked to him, just knowing someone who's in the same community as you died over there really makes it a lot more personal... And I think SG members should be proud to be included in a group with individuals like this. A lot of love goes the way of him and his family.

Another brother in arms fallen. We all send our love to the family. Even though we never met, he was still one of us and it is a loss that will be felt. God bless.

All soldiers are brothers, especially in times of war, and we all feel the pain of losing one of our own. The old saying says that only the dead have seen the end of war, and this dear fellow can finally rest.

I reitterate the comments I made in the other thread.

Thank you.

From those who went before you and for those who may come after-thanks.

I drink a toast to a fallen comrade in arms. Rest ye well brother, thankyou for your sacrifice...

One more life pointlessly wasted in pursuit of a fraudulent cause pushed by cynical lying politicians. One more personal tradgedy. More broken hearts the crushing pain of loss. And for what end???

This is so sad. And even sadder still, he is just one of many. My heart goes out to his family, I can't even imagine the pain.

That makes me very sad.

It's terrible to hear news like that my heart and prayers go out to the family.

Wow...I am sorry beyond belief to anyone who knew him. I have a lot of friends over there, and it will kill me if I lose any of them to this fucking war. I was lucky enough to get out of the Army before it began, but a girl I work with (fellow dancer) is getting shipped there in a couple of months. My condolences...I truly am sorry.

Mike, I want to thank you for everything that has been mentioned already and from me, personally. I knew you as the guy who would insist on watching my band practice and had endless respect in and for what we were trying to do. For coming to every crappy show you could get yourself too and for always inspiring a little more energy from us on account of your own raucousness in the audience. It's a real crime I'll never see you at another show and tossing your head even during practice. Thanks man and there's no way to express how sorry I am.
