http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/my-brothers-death An entire Lightstalkers thread via RSS/XML. en-us All: I apologize if this is a little off topic, but this is my first post to lightstalkers (longtime listener, first time caller). This past week my Brother, Chief Warrant Officer Gary Marc Farwell was killed with two others when their blackhawk helicopter crashed on a training flight in Germany...he survived four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan; this is like getting sucker punched by Andre the Giant in his pre-heart condition prime. Some of you might be interested in his stories and pictures, which we are collecting on his Memorial Website. www.garymarcfarwell.com . Thanks for indulging me, keep up the good work.

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:32:36 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/my-brothers-death#161434 rest brother. mourn the death, but never cease to celebrate his life Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:38:00 +0000 http://www.lightstalkers.org/posts/my-brothers-death#161435 We didn't know it then, but I was embedded with Matt's platoon in Afghanistan - Only years later, during a random stateside conversation, did we realize that we'd been a humvee apart in a small convoy that snaked it's way through the mountains along the Pakistani border. In the small world that is LS, I don't doubt that some of us have crossed paths with his brother, or strapped into his blackhawk at some point during the course of those four tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. all my respect to the Farwell family - and thanks for getting us home to ours.
