A Fallen Hero

I am not even sure how to write this post. I am so heartbroken for my good friend Katie. She married her Marine husband just over a year ago. They live in CA where Chad was stationed. Katie called me today with the most horrible news. Chad life was taken yesterday while he was serving this great country.
I have never known anyone personally serving who has lost their life while on duty. I am at a loss of words and can't believe it has even happened. I ask you all to keep Katie in your thoughts and prayers. She is going to need all the support she can get. She gave her husband the most support of all and now it is our turn to return support and love to her. Such a young couple to have the most devastating ending.

This picture was taken the day Chad left for deployment.
RIP Chad Wade.... you protected our country and we will protect and keep your loving wife.
