I did not know the man, but I want to say thank you to his family and loved ones for his service to our country. He made the ultimate sacrafice and he should always be thought of as a true American Hero.

OTAs kinda seem insignificant when you here news like this.

I didnt know him, but R.I.P.

My take exactly... the name might not be familiar, but he was one of ours... sooner or later, war touches us all...

RIP, Major... God's peace to your family...

We can never calculate the circumstances with the timing of life and death. We can celebrate the time in between and the accomplishes there within. You have far exceeded the norm. Thank you.

God bless you young man, as I'm sure he has. Thank you and your family for the sacrifices we take for granted. My prayers are with you and more importantly, with your family.

 

[Spectre]

RIP and thank you.
My best to his family.

May God Bless your family Scott! We know you are in a better place. Thank you for your Service!

Guys - My community of Terrell, TX. just found out yesterday afternoon that we lost one of our young men in Iraq. Please give a prayer for the family of Spc. Jonathan (J.D.) Emard, a 20-year-old Airborne Ranger with the 1-87 Infantry Battalion 10th Mountain Division. Thank you too, JD.
Please see this article for information on J.D.

RIP.

Line up with your fellow soldiers friend and may eternity be bright and beautiful.

 

[Jack-Reacher]

For both Scott and JD, I would like to share one sentence from the Ranger Creed that has always meant a lot to me:

"Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some."

Our fallen brothers did not fail us, and they continue to shoulder more than than their share.

Rest in peace brothers.

As a fellow Army Vet, I say RIP soldier R.I.P.

What is that I hear
Harps and waves upon the shore
My earthly race is done I fear
and I am no more

will you not remember me
those of you that live
my name is Scott Hagerty
and my life to you I give

R.I.P.

 

[CalCBFan]

What a wonderful poem Zaxor, although I am a firm believer in the Resurrection of the body and soul and that this fallen hero is in a better place. Maj Hagerty and his family will be in our prayers tonight...

And the Hunter Home from the Hill
Words by R.L. Stevenson.

The lights here burn brightly, the welcome is warm,
And this is a haven from many's the storm,
A poet once said: "You can never go home.";
But now the wind's blowing chill,
Home is the sailor home from sea, and the hunter home from the hill.

So lay out a new course, North, South, East or West,
Make weigh your anchor, sail on your last quest,
Steer for the one port you're sure to find rest,
Lay alongside with all skill,
Home is the sailor home from sea, and the hunter home from the hill.

Under the wide and the bright starry sky,
Dig me a grave, there let me lie,
Glad did I live and gladly I die,
I lay me down with a will,

And this be the verse that you 'grave for me:
Here he's at rest where he wanted to be,
Home is the sailor home from sea, and the hunter home from the hill.
