Just read that he was due to leave for home in two days.  It's shitty on day 1 or on day 200.  I just think that this hurts just a bit more.


I'm not sure what I mean.  This is just so sad.
 
He was on the home stretch & so close to being alive by a couple of days and that's sadder somehow & maybe what you meant.

Condolences to all.

Just waking to this awful news.

Each time I see the flag at half when I'm heading into base I feel like I've been kicked in the chest all over again.
My thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of Pte McKay and to all of us that have lost someone we love. It is always a comfort to know that we are not alone and that there are people out there who will remember with us.
Rest in Peace, you will not be forgotten :cdn:
