#Repost @deespressoliber with @repostapp ・・・ On May 2nd, 2010, MSG Mark Coleman, the 18Z on ODA 1235, was killed by an IED blast while he lead his ODA on a foot patrol in a contested area of the Arghandab River Valley, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. Mark always lead the way in both the example he set, the skills he developed over years of serving in Special Forces along with a few years as an exchange partner with the Australian SAS. There was not a time he was pushing his seniors and developing his team and expecting the absolute best out of each team member. Not a day goes by where he is not thought of and it is unbelievable that this was seven years ago already. Brother, you will not be forgotten, words can not express the loss felt by your family and friends. Raise a glass and 'till Valhalla.

Looking back... I think what I remember most was the 'Peace' that prevailed... yet then again I was so young and naive. One could hardly blame anyone, not even a kid, for taking this worldview for granted. Yes, there was peace... a strange, subtle, 'even' sort of peace... Not much to speak of that I can recall honestly... . The old war movies I watched with my Grandpa were just that... movies. The only notion that the world was in any way shape or form a destructive & evil place came in the form of a bomb attack on a US Navy ship (Cole) yet still there was nothing that could have prepared me, as I slept on September 10th, 2001 for the world that was to be come morning. . When I look back, I remember the events of THAT day quite clearly, the sights, sounds, and emotions all permanently ingrained within... but when I think back to the day BEFORE... I cannot help but be reminded of a poem, by Titanic survivor Jack Thayer... of which I will paraphrase... .. "There was peace, and the world had an even tenor to its ways. True enough, from time to time there were events -- catastrophes & tragedies like great floods, wars, great earthquakes, random acts of violence, or building unrest in the Middle East-- which stirred our sleeping world, but not enough to keep it from resuming its slumber. . It seems to me that the tragedy about to occur was an event which not only made the world rub its eyes and awake... but woke it with a start! Keeping us moving at a rapidly accelerating pace ever since, with less and less peace, satisfaction, and happiness.... . "In my mind... the world of today awoke September 11th, 2001." .. Didn't have to paraphrase much... . September 11th is a day that will long be remembered... and which will always be FELT long after I, and all those who can remember the horrors we saw that day, have passed over into that eternal realm... the realm that saw the sudden arrival of so many of our fellow Brothers, Sisters, Wives, Husbands, Sweethearts, Children, and loved ones. . As long as I live... I will ALWAYS remember the 11th of September, 2001. . #remember911 #september11 #2001 #patriotday #rememberourfallen #worldtradecenter #iremember #911 #nyc https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYGAr8vQM_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
