May they rest in peace. Prayers for their families.
Damn.
Rest well, men.
As reminded, even in training, troops die. RIP, and God’s Peace to your families.
They were deployed on mission.
The poor families, I served 24 years but now that I have a son serving it changes everything for me.
I have a 16YO that has desires to “be like dad”. I’m proud and terrified at the same time.
Prayers for the fallen and their families.
God’s Peace bring His Comfort to the Families and Compatriots of these Warriors. Speedy, complete recovery for the other.
