I agree Squidly. Every loss is a loss and none are above the other as they are all sacrificing a great deal to serve our country. But in todays world, I have to admit to admiring him all that much more for giving up a lucrative life that has a certain shelf life opportunity in order to serve his country and follow what he believes in. I'm not sure people like that are in abundance in our society any more. Back in WWII, many athletes gave up their careers, put them at risk, or were killed in action.

Regardless, it's a tragic loss as is every single one of them.
