Also, if you want to be “that guy” and dredge up some internet life BS, tread lightly. This is my first, last, and only warning on that matter. Account continuity is at stake for those who think I am playing around.
Billy was a good man. He served his country, then came back home to run the family ranch.
He was an 8541 - a Marine Scout/Sniper team leader. He was decorated for his actions during the battle of Fallujah. He and his rifle saved the lives of multiple Marines and Soldiers during that battle.
He leaves behind a wife and 18-month-old daughter, trying to run a ranch that has been in their family for four generations.
Myself and others here have donated. Please do the same if you have the ability to do so.
Indeed, I have let fellow members of the Tribe know that one has fallen.
For those who have given, thank you very much. For those who have not had a chance to do so yet, please consider any donation you can to help the widow and child.
I saw this last night, cried then went and got drunk. My dad is a Marine, he unexpectedly lost his wife of 52 years, my mother, 3 weeks ago. Please accept my modest donation with my deepest sorrow on their behalf. R.I.P. Marine you are in the best of company.
Please accept my condolences regarding your loss. My mother died last year just after Thanksgiving, and I know how hard the Holidays can be. Hope you can be there as needed for your Dad.
