His buddy who survived the blast, CPT Dominic Oto, also writes:
the guilt I feel for both lliving and hardly being hurt is immeasureable. If he was here I know he would slap me in my face but I feel like shit for living when such a good guy died…hard to explain but I refuse to let it be in vain.
We should think of, pray for, and thank these good men and women of our volunteer military and their families every chance we get.
