September 14, 200916 yr Sad though that is for his family and friends, let us remember that the Coalition Forces in Afghanistan have had over 1300 fatal casualties and the number is still inceasing almost every day that passes. The majority of these are young men too. Gerry Howard

September 15, 200916 yr I read of this yesterday, I was very sad to hear of his loss especially when learning of his father's connection to the Columbia tragedy. I'd like to think that both father and son are reunited now and hope their souls are joined high aloft in the heavens, soaring over the world just as they did during their lives.-John
September 16, 200916 yr It's amazing how some things come in pars for some families. It's bad enough to loose one in tragedy but two and so closely related. I think of the lady who just lost her life here in America in the commuter crash in Buffalo New York. Her husband died in 9/11/01 in one of the World Trade Center towers. I think of the Kennedy's (JFK, RFK, etc). This is really sad and all anyone can say is rest in peace with hopes this family doesn't have to go through any more grief so close to home.
