RIP, Chief and your little ones.
Thank you for your service to your greateful nation, and your sacrifice for your family.
You set the standard high, and knowing the risk, paid the ultimate price while trying to save your children. This will not be forgotten, brother.
You are what a warrior, and a hero should be. Way to man up.
I hope that your journey was swift, and you are at peace with your girls tonight in the afterlife.
Prayers out for you, and the girls, and your wife who must carry on without you.
May God's hands hold you all close tonight.
Adios, hermano.

Rest in Peace Chief. May you and your daughters find eternal comfort together in God's arms. Prayers and condolences for his wife and mother, may they find the strength to heal and continue on.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Words cannot express the feeling on such a horrible occasion. The sadness of life lost, young and old, and the pride of a father giving the ultimate sacrifice for his family. RIP Brother, may God grant you all safe passage into his Kingdom.

A tragic loss.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice - your love for your family is an example for us all. Prayers out to your wife.
