Hey all Tradgangers,

Last week I received word that a high school friend was killed in Afganistan fighting the Taliban.

His name is Sgt Bill Cahir.  He enlisted in the Marines at 34 years old after 9/11 to help make the world a better place and he's paid the ultimate price following his calling.

The worst part is that he left behind a wife and unborn twins who will never know their father.  Truly tragic.

His bravery and patriotism have been featured on Hardball with Chris Matthews.  Here's the link:   Hardball

I knew him since Junior High and he is a great guy.

Please send your prayers to his family and if you have a few extra bucks, there is a fund to help his family financially with his loss.

Not exactly bowhunting related, but everyone should know what a great man Bill was and what a sacrifice he made so we can all live without the fear of another attack on US soil.

While we all get ready to head into the woods this year, take a moment to think about and thank all the service-men and women who keep us free.

Shed your tears for the family, not the Marine. It takes a special type of person to go to a foreign land and fight. But we do it because we WANT to, not because we have to. This fine man payed the ultimate price and is now eternally living the ultimate life. I'm sure he is smiling down on us all while he's guarding the pearly gates.
OOOrah my brother! and thank you.

My prayers go out to his wife. I'm certain the unborn children she carries are already proud of their daddy.

Semper Fi!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

It's never good to see this happen. I lost two mates in Baghdad just the other day in a shooting... as with your mate, these two lads left wives and kids as well... it's never easy to understand.

Prayers sent to the family...

I never know what to say or do when I hear these stories...and for every one that we learn about how many dozens others?

There can be no peace without vigilance and freedom is never free.

May God smile on all fallen soldiers' families as they struggle to find meaning and direction.

Lord in your mercy....
