RIP MSG Booth. I didn't know him; those who did cannot say enough good about him. The Regiment has lost another irreplaceable asset. Prayers for their children.

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.

My prayers go out to the Booth family. I hope that the youngsters are able to cope with this tragedy and are supported by the grandparents or other close family members. There was extended family in town for a birthday party. One of the kids had a birthday on Sat, the day they lost mom and dad.
I hope that he doesn't have problems later in life due to this heavy loss.
