    Default Death of my former partners daughter

    This seems about as an appropriate place to put this.

    I just found out that last week my former partner/supervisors daughter died after a lengthy bout of cancer. Aleah was 25 when she passed away, fought bravely over 7 years, never complained, drove on with herself and was an inspiration to all of us with how she carried herself.

    Her Dad, Mike, was my partner. He was in 5th Grp and a Recondo Grad. He is in all terms, a warrior and one of the bravest men I know. He always looked out for his guys, had their backs, had a heart of gold and made sure my family was taken care of on my deployment. He retired after 25 years as an Officer in MN and went to AZ and started again as a rookie Officer, as he loved being a Cop.

    Her mom Karen is an RN, a sweetheart and another person with a heart of gold. Aleah also has a sister, Brea, who used to watch my kids and is pregnant with her second child.

    The family is devastated, Mike and Karens kids were their life. A prayer for them would be appreciated.

    My condolences on your and their loss.

    It seems that she definitely left her mark.

    Godspeed.

    My condolences Brother.
    Light engineers must be proficient in marksmanship, demolitions, light infantry skills, and field-expedient engineering. Because of the austere conditions in which they operate, light engineers must have knowledge of all weapons in their unit, an intimate understanding of the weapons systems of the forces they support, and a working knowledge of the enemies' weapons. The close combat skills of light engineers must be unequaled. They must hold total confidence in their abilities to apply these skills and tools.
