My oldest brother, Michael and Rob were good friends in elementary school and stayed friends through high school. Oddly, I remember him much, much better from elementary. He was so incredibly sweet. Not many of my brothers' friends were ever sweet to me as the annoying little sister. He even stood up for me once at my brother's birthday party when another boy was picking on me. He was my "hero" that day and I am not the least bit surprised that he grew up to be a real life hero to us all.Katharine (LauraKat81)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11467869971012798760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-54331793085669157362011-08-15T10:12:55.853-07:002011-08-15T10:12:55.853-07:00I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for your l...I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss. I went online and read about all of the men who lost their lives, and right away, my eyes went to the two men that you knew personally. We also lost two men from MN, although I did not know them personally. Thinking of you, and all those who have lost their lives, and those that grieve for them.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912857890584533572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-43202373105292541802011-08-11T17:52:43.920-07:002011-08-11T17:52:43.920-07:00I'm so sorry to hear that this news was so pai...I'm so sorry to hear that this news was so painfully personal for you. Although I'm not an American, I definitely feel the pain and heartache at each and every military-related tragedy. I find it so frustrating that so many service men and women are grossly underpaid for the incredibly dangerous work that they do, praised for a moment and then quickly forgotten once they return home [if they are lucky enough to get home]. The sacrifice that these men and women undertake on the behalf of us all is indescribable, and I for one definitely pray for all soldiers who die in battle, regardless of which side they are on, as everyone has family who loves them and will miss them terribly. I'll be thinking of your friends in particular as I thank them for the sacrifice and pray for them. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823767091787001229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616336279684201068.post-35032944136943357292011-08-11T05:51:38.672-07:002011-08-11T05:51:38.672-07:00oh no, I am so sorry. we were all moved by this s...oh no, I am so sorry. we were all moved by this story but I cannot imagine what it must feel like to have it touch you on such a personal level.

To think that you knew two of them makes it feel so much more personal (even though we don't know each other outside of 'blogging'.
