Superb. I'm sitting here tearing up as I write this. Indeed, it's because of men and women like SFC Smith that we all get to come here to this forum and air our thoughts and opinions.

Some of us disagree with each other over our presence in that benighted country, but none of us should dare to do anything but heap the highest praise and honor upon this soldier, for he did indeed give that last full measure of devotion for his country, his men and his service.
