Rest in Peace, Brother. I’m humbled by your sacrifice. Blessings …
Fair winds and following seas, Specialist Conde.
When you look in the dictionary for Paratrooper there is a picture of Spc. Conde. Condolences to his family for your loss.
Enjoy Valhalla, brother.
I hope “under investigation” is not indicative of this being “friendly” fire.
Rest in peace Brother. God comfort your family now.
You were taken from us far too soon, Young Warrior.
WAR IS HELL, this brings tears to my eyes, he was only 22 and a whole life ahead of him. He will always be Airborne. My Condolences to his family.
Rest well, SPC.
Rest in Peace young Trooper.
RIP, Specialist Conde. And may God grant peace of spirit to your family.
Amen.
RIP, Trooper. Go assemble on the DZ in Valhalla.
So young …
I grieve for your family, may Adonai comfort them. See you in a while, Brother.
