Not only did a soldier that Greg worked with commit suicide, he committed suicide following injuries sustained by an IED during a deployment that he shouldn't have been on - he had volunteered with another soldier to go in Greg's place. The whole unit had only been home from Iraq for 6 months when they got called back up. Greg had just enrolled back into school and found out through the grapevine that he was on the call-up list, but before they notified him, this soldier & another soldier requested to be sent instead. We didn't know anything about it until they were literally enroute back to Iraq. It's very difficult to describe in words what it felt like to hear of this soldier's suicide knowing that he had taken Greg's place.Wolfley Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792119468529377224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25169328.post-40016466211423453812010-10-02T11:48:20.442-05:002010-10-02T11:48:20.442-05:00It makes me sad, as well.

The tears are a common place in my life, but they are not tears of sadness for the solider but the solider's family and friends. <br /><br />I am sorry for YOUR loss!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25169328.post-60137691914395875322010-10-01T18:01:31.355-05:002010-10-01T18:01:31.355-05:00This makes me sad too.

I, like you, think that someone needs to read that name, think about that life and have a moment to show a little respect. Sometimes I even google their names and read about them. I cry every single time. <br />I don't understand suicide. I don't get why anyone would think that's the only way out and I think it must be a tortured soul. I will pray for all involved. I am sorry for YOUR loss too.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07196257750016200916noreply@blogger.com
