This is really sad and very hard to believe at the same time.

Semp God be with you man I really enjoyed your wit; the times we spoke and the times we had on these message boards where I first came to know you.

God be with you and the ones you left behind. I salute you my friend.

They lie in flag draped coffins
War's time for them, is done
But, for their family and friends
The battle has just barely begun.

Some may have had babies born
That they will never get to know
Some, fiancees wait to marry them
But fate, would not let it be so.

Some parents bury their children
Not right, in the scheme of things
Just one, of the many horrors
That mankind's warring brings.

They fought for their god and country
They proudly answered duty's call
Along with all their comrades in arms
But, sadly, these just gave their all.

The haunting sounds of Taps
And a three volley, gun salute
An Honor Guard in uniform
At attention, standing mute.

The flag will be folded reverently
Presented to those left behind
A small token from a grateful nation
But, relief from grief is hard to find.

Their name added to a roll of Heroes
With all those who have gone before
And there seems to be no ending
God speed to you marine as you will be missed.

Unfortunately, his son more or less confirmed on the Smack Board.

Shocking.

I'm all goose bumped. This is heart breaking. I hope he is in a better place, and that his family finds comfort.
This is a great loss for this board. RIP Semper, we will miss you dearly.

Does anyone know the cause?

Well I really hope this turns out to be some kind of a joke, but if not...

RIP semp, I really enjoyed your presence here and was looking forward to grabbing a beer with you at the FSU game this year.



This just ruined my day, I'm off the board until tommorow. Peace guys.

Oh wow, how sad if true. We will miss him a lot. I hope it is a mistake, and he is doing fine. Posted on 8/11 12:49 PM | IP: Logged
