“If I die in a war zone someday, box me up & send me home.
Put all my medals on my chest, tell my mother I did my very best.
Please tell my dad not to bow; Surely, he won’t get tension from me now.
Please tell my brother to study perfectly. The key to my car will be his permanently.
Please tell my sister not to be upset, for her brother will take a long sleep after sunset.
Please tell my nation not to cry, because I’m a soldier, born to die, but never to be forgotten.”
Even as this message and his pictures began to circulate online, many who knew the soldier had expressed their shock and pain at hearing the heart-rending news.
