5. Posting the Wiki link, just so people can remind themselves..

Honestly, I hate to admit it but I forgot the name.

No excuses, it was horrible of me to forget. I am sorry for that.


I hope this makes up for it, if only a little

6. This will be a relief to his family and fellow soldiers, I would imagine.

One of my best friends was his staff sergeant in Iraq. It has really bothered him that they hadn't found his body, although everyone was almost certain that he was dead.
