May the peace that only Christ can bring be with the family and friends of Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz.

My guess is the 250 people that did thumbs down to this never have worn the uniform of a soldier or have done anything for this country their whole lives

[jaysmoke]

Even the word HERO comes up short for this young man. I am so sorry.

This is how AMERICANS honor their fallen heros. God bless these families and loved ones.

I'm sure those folks didn't check their watch impatiently unlike the potato puppet who was to blame for his passing.

Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, Thank you, for your service. RIP

[jonboxleitner]

Total patriot. RIP Jared.
No one in high command held responsible. We need to continue to push for justice for the Afghanistan 13.

I'm glad everyone who paid respect to our fallen heros. My question is. What are we going to do about it?
