Tiger,
Thank you for serving our country, I will pray for your family and especially for your children. They will be OK. You are so brave and so courageous, your example will get them far in life. May God rest your soul and may you rest in gentle peace.

I lived in Ft Benning Ga when I met James Connell and his wife and children. I will never forget during a power outage going over to his house and he gave me a camping lantern and a flashlight to use, my husband was in Kuwait at the time and I will never forget that. He was a great father and loved his kids very much. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
