Gentlemen,

Today the real world struck a blow to our Fleet.

Markus Heinrik was an Admiral in the XIth and a Soldier.  He was killed in an ambush in Iraq.

"Markus was more than a member of the online community we all knew through the Internet. He was our friend, our companion? our brother. He made the ultimate sacrifice for the one cause he valued more than his life. He served his country to the death. He has done his duty. May he rest in peace and may God forever guide his soul".
                                                                                                            -  Admiral Bishop, XIth Fleet.

Please join us in our prayers for his friends and family.

Azrael

sad new indeed.  I can't say that i know the man, but it will be a lose to this community because that kind of dedication isn't just picked from trees.

btw as a request, does anyone happen to have his bio (accomplishments while he was in the service etc?) and would they be willing to post it here for the community to see?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the man's family- both by blood and the one he had here- and to his unit.


And when he gets to heven,

 Saint Peter he will tell,

"Another soldier reporting, Sir-

 I've spent my time in Hell."
Everything I did in my life that was worthwhile I caught hell for. - Earl Warron

The advantages of living in the Heart of Dixie- low cost of living, peace and quiet and a conservative majority. For some reason I think that the first two items have a lot to do with the presence of the last one.

For what it's worth, I used to know an old man I admired by the same name, but spelled differently, Marcus Heinrich, a man of integrity.

I'm saddened by your loss. Hopefully this war will come to a resolution soon and we can stop losing our young men and women over there.

  • If I took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy.

Well, instead of thinking kind thoughts of "Marcus", I guess I'll spend the afternoon thinkng kind thoughts about the 11th instead.  It seems they were treated very unfairly by one of their members.

Actually it's at 2 of their members right now as if you check the rest of the stuff open on their site, their British connection "bishop" wasn't coming clean on what he knew and they were telling him to spill his guts. That was earlier in the day.
