Is there anyone here who lives close to where his service is going to be? It would be really wonderful if someone from the club could go and represent all of us.

I was thinking of doing just that. Melissa, if you know any of the details, let me know or post them here. I'll also be checking the Press for information.

Thank you so so much Archon.

Dammit. I think we have a theme going with speechlessness, because I don't know what to say.
I'll definitely miss him. Card will be going tomorrow. I wish I could afford to go up and attend ceremonieswith Dick.

unbelievable... <insert everything other reply mentioned by everyone else>

life is so short, im glad chad was happy he was over there, such a shame of a life wasted. i talked to chad occasionally when he had news, or when he was going thru the breakup... positive fella

melissa, im sorry that you will never get to say your goodbye in person, but please know that he is knowing your every thought

the entire family is in my prayers

[tears still steaming]

All that can be said right now.....

This is so sad.
What a waste
I hate the war.

My prayers will be with his family. Chad is at rest now and probably in a much better place.
You died with honour my good man.

Oh my god. Theres no way. From the very first time I knew we had a member over there, I said, oh god don't let one of our great club family members be hurt, keep him safe. And now this. I feel so bad because I just found this thread now.

I offer my deepest condolences, but I know nothing can dissolve the pain you have from losing a loved one.

We'll keep you in our thoughts Chad.

i know this might seem material, but most of us know eachother by our cars and not our faces... i thought this might be appropriate
