Many a sad family is now mourning sons and daughters they'll never hug again.
Thanks for the post.

Thank you for posting this. I was devestated when I heard it. Any loss of life is sad but to lose that many Seals is unthinkable. I absolutely hate this war and often think where we'd be if we'd never gotten into this mess 10 yrs ago.
