Title: More info on Green Beret who died in fire released
Post by: BlueStateSaint on March 07, 2012, 08:15:12 AM
Gang, it's an AP story, but he and his wife jumped from their second-story building, then he wrapped a blanket around himself and went back in for his 6-year-old and 4-year-old daughters.  None of the three made it out.

This is a nightmare for people like me, who have young children.  I know I'd be going back in, and I'd be assaulting anyone who was trying to keep me from going back in to save my daughter.

Oh, Lord, what a tragedy. Prayers up for the wife who survived and the rest of their family.

Heartbreaking.

Oh Dear God.  The wife was the only one that survived?  I just don't see how I could live after losing my hubby and all of my children. :bawl:  Dear God that is a horrible story.

You would go on in life with the memory that you had married a man that loved his family so much he would race into a burning building because they meant more to him than his own life.

Anything less would dishonor him.

I could go on without my hubby, but my children?  I do think I would die of a broken heart.  My eyes are filling up with tears just thinking about it.
