I feel nothing but sadness reading the ignorant comments from heartless people. White, black or other... it really doesn't matter does it? Someones son is dead. Someones brother gone. I happen to be honored in the fact I know this child's family. And for the sake of shutting up those who have no concern for the grief they are feeling, he was of both races.. did not live in your tax supplied neighborhood. He lived in Jacksonville in a house his parents OWN. His father works for your country... and is just now returning to say good bye to his son. Have a little respect for his family. No matter what he was doing there... he was still someones child.
