A soldier passed away last night after recent tonsil surgery.

He could have been dead as long as forty eight hours because that was the last known contact anyone had for him.

I want everyone to know that soldiers aren’t dying because the Army is sending us overseas.

Some of them pass away because the Army doesn’t care.

Please keep his family in mind.

This took place on 21 October 2009.

I prefer to remain anonymous, but that’s up to you.
