Press on twyacht. With friends like you and as long as there are veterans and forum members like us he will never be forgotten. A special day of remembrance is already there for him and the brave souls like him. Veterans Day. A day to remember those serving and those who have served in the past. There are many who have gone before him. God Bless them all.

I really don't have words in response here.  My deepest condolences for your loss, and for the loss that young man's family is suffering right now.

Its always hard to find words to use when there's a tragedy like this, at least for me it is. That video does a much better job than I can do, especially after the knot in my throat from watching it. My deepest condolences to you and his family, may he find now the peace he fought so hard for on Earth. Thank you Bobby for what you have done, and know that there are those that thank God a true warrior lived among us.

My condolences to you and Bobby's family.  It is always hard for all when a warrior is struck down in battle but knowing he was doing his part to make America safe now and for the future is where some comfort may lay.  Godspeed Bobby and thank you.

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers, they truly mean so much.. Inspiration comes in different forms, and all of your kind words really are appreciated..  A Heartfelt Thank You to each and all.

Bobby had made arrangements to be buried on the sacred ground of Arlington National Cemetery.

Emily Dickinson wrote, " Because I could not stop for death, he kindly stopped for me, the carriage held just ourselves, and Immortality."  He and the heroes that have fallen, will always remain immortal to me and my family.

The military has a protocol that coordinates with the family for the final arrangements.  This will be very tough, but I absolutely will be there for his funeral.

We played golf together, caught red drum, flounder, and speckled trout,  enjoyed many an afternoon with a variety of firearms just target shooting. Drank beer and did most of the crazy stuff in college we never should have gotten away with.

Thank you again to the DRTV forum, you are a special bunch, and the only "forum" I am a member of.

"Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles" Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I'm glad people like Bobby, family and friends, and all of you on this forum, understand how great this country is, despite its faults, we will keep to our principles, and push on.

God Bless.

Sincerely,

Tom Watchorn

I'm sorry for the loss of your good friend. You have good memories to keep with you forever. With love and good memories, Bobby will live on forever in your heart.

From the colonist, who rebelled,
to the soldier of today,
My thanks, be to you,
I know not what else to say.


Since the words I do not have,
to give the tribute that is due,
So a simple heartfelt thanks,
sincerely I give to you.


Thanks to our American heroes,
whose devotion is second to none,
Whose courage and braveness alone
caused many battles to be won.


We have beaten the forces of evil
and carried our flag far and wide,
Because of our American Warriors,
our hearts are filled with pride,


Only because of you and the price
you willingly did pay,
Only because of you,
Old Glory still flies today!
