The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
My wife’s family is neighbors with my family out in the middle of nowhere here. Since I was planning on staying late at work my wife’s sister was going over to our place to hang out with her.
My wife’s sister saw a state trooper car and a government vehicle parked outside my parent’s place as she drove by and my wife just called me and told me.
I called my parents since my phone isn’t charged and I forgot the charger and they had no way of getting a hold of me.
My mom was in tears and asked me to come over as soon as possible.
My brother is deployed to Afghanistan in a very dangerous area and I fear the worst so I’m heading over there. My mom was too emotional to tell me anything over the phone.
Lock this thread or whatever I don't care. I won't be on here for the rest of the evening most likely.
Pray for us or keep us in your thoughts if you're not into that.
I am sorry pieman. We may never meet in real life but you have my sympathies anyways. I always wish for the best and hate to hear any bad news about the members of this community.
I can't imagine losing a brother. You have my prayers dude.

My uncle was killed by a landmine in Vietnam. Obviously I never met him but my Dad was really crushed by it when it happened.
My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Oh my gosh, I am so so sorry. My dad is in the military and I worry about him everyday. This is my worst nightmare. I can't imagine what you are going through but I am praying for your family.
I'm online passing off work duties so i can stay with my family as long as they need me.
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers everyone. Right now I don't really feel anything. I'm just completely at a loss not just for words but even for thoughts or emotions. But my mom is just heartbreaking to see so me and my 5 brothers and 1 sister
fuck! I just typed that and now it's freaking wrong. 4 brothers and 1 sister are doing our best to console her.
I don't want to say too much online since his mission was very dangerous but he was with a small group, very small in the boondocks. The last time I talked with him was the day he was deployed.
He was really nervous and this is a guy who can bench 350 pounds, arms like tree trunks and the endurance of an animal.
He knew he was in danger too and it showed whenever he spoke with my mom.
Aw jeeze. My condolences to you and your family, pieman. It is such a shock when a family member dies suddenly, you don't even know how you feel for a while. I'm really sorry for your loss.
Damn Pieman, so many condolences for you and your family.

Pieman, my older brother Steven died six years ago this September. I won't say that I know what you're going through, because there's no way I could. You have my deepest condolences, and even though we've never really interacted or anything, I want you to know that you and your family are in my heart tonight.
I want to thank your family for the sacrifice that your brother has made. Having never met him or you, I can still say with absolute certainty that he was a better and braver man than I.
I will say a prayer for him and those who loved him.

Thoughts are with you and yours, buddy.
I'm pretty sure the trouble is that it may be that his brother was killed in action, and the government guys are there to tell his family.
i got that much, i was simply wishing for it to be something else.
Thank you for your thoughts.
My mother is a wreck. Two of my brothers are coming home in the next day or so. The rest of us are already here.
My condolences.
I am so sorry to hear that.
You have my condolences.
