'War' Finally Hits Close To Home

BossHog · Post by **BossHog** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:12 am

As a Canadian, I stay out of most American politics threads, I don't make much commentary on the U.S efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Truthfully, it hasn't affected my personal life at all until this weekend.

A friend of mine, not my best friend, but someone that I hang out with and who runs in very much the same circle of friends that I do, lost his brother this weekend to a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

My friend Sean's brother's name was Mark, and while I didn't know him, I certainly know the family he leaves behind.

This is the story from our local paper... http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/ ... 6-sun.html

I know there's nothing anyone can do but send their best wishes and prayers in the direction of Mark and Sean's family, so I ask that you please at least do that for them.

R.I.P Mark

Sorry to hear about your loss, BH! It's tragic and senseless. No matter what the thoughts are on the war, his family has every reason to be proud of someone who was serving his country.
