Cpl. Benjamin S. Kopp,3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment

RIP Ranger Kopp. I know that you fought the good fight and did everything humanly possible to hold on to life before you had to go.

My thoughts and prayers out to the brave men that Ranger Kopp fought with, and to his family and friends back at home.

RLTW.
 
wow....
Ill. woman receives heart from dead Minn. soldier

ROSEMOUNT, Minn. - Army Ranger Benjamin Kopp died last month after being wounded in Afghanistan, but a part of the Minnesota soldier lives on.

His family agreed to donate his organs, and now a 57-year-old Chicago woman feels privileged to have received the Rosemount soldier's heart.

Judy Meikle says she got a call about Kopp's death two weeks ago from the soldier's cousin, who's her close friend. His heart was a perfect match for Meikle.

She says she now has the heart of an Army Ranger who's a bona fide hero.

Wow.

I checked other news sources about this and it appears to be true.

This past weekend, WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter attended the funeral of his nephew, Army Ranger Cpl. Benjamin Stephen Kopp. The 21-year-old serviceman died as a result of his wounds on July 18, eight days after his unit was attacked by a Taliban safe haven.
