I just put two and two together. SFC Wise's brother is in my company. We were all hit hard by this news.

All three Wise brothers served their country in combat and two of them lost their lives in the pursuit of liberty. His other brother was a SEAL and died in Afghanistan. You would be hard pressed to find a more patriotic family or one that has sacrificed so much for our nation.

Yeah I remember when Jeremy Wise was killed. I knew they had a third brother in the USMC. But for him to be in your company is a crazy coincidence.

No surprise here but he is a great Marine. One of my top performers.

I've been without power since getting back, and had no access while away.

RIP SFC Wise, Crip introduced us at his graduation from the SFQC.

De Oppresso Liber. Blue Skies my brother, may we meet in the feasting halls on the other side of the mountain.
