My heartfelt condolences to you and yours for losing your son, Elijah. He is too young to die for sure and a very handsome young man. My family and I thank him for his service to this country and for helping make this world safer for all of us. Elijah and you and yours will be in our prayers tonight. If you need anything we can be of help with, please do not hesitate to pm me.
To those here that served, thank you too for your service and keep safe.

P.S. In a movie called "A Visitor For Christmas" the father of a fallen soldier said to his "visitor" -- We gave them our son, and they gave us 'stuffs' . Actually, the "visitor" was their son who came to help them let go of their grief for losing their son.
