This is one of those times where words don't do justice. 
I am so sorry for your loss. American's should honor him for his service and ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Just know that you will see him again.

thank you all for your comments...yes he was my boyfriend before he left...we ended it the day he left bc he was going to be gone for 2 years...but i knew that we would be back together when he came home...he had that in mind too obviously considering the ring he gave me with the letter
