RIP Aaron Fairbairn 07/04/2009

I just saw this message on my Myspace from a co-worker and fellow officer.

Quote:
My son was minding his own business, shooting the breeze with an Officer on their base in Afghanistan, when a truck breached the perimeter and the suicide bomber pushed the button.

I can't believe it. There are so many people over there, and so many of them come home without a scratch.

But to take Aaron, like this, on the 4th of July... it's just wrong... I don't undertand it...

I guess it means that someone else's son gets to come home safe.

I'm so sorry, Aaron...
Aaron Fairbairn, US Army, 21 Years old.

He gave his life to his country, The United States of America, on it's most significant day. If he had to go there was no more noble way. May he rest in peace.

May God Bless Aaron Fairbairn and his family. I will pray for them all tonight. May God Bless every GI in harms way. All gave some, Some gave all.

Re: RIP Aaron Fairbairn 07/04/2009

I saw a few posts on Twitter claiming that this was a HOAX. Apparently these people claimed that only the Marines were operating in the area and that the DOD won't fly a family across the country to be there when the body arrives. They also claim it is a marketing ploy.

Quote:
StephInStL Why are all these people CONVINCED that #thankyouaaron is NOT a hoax to sell books? The only PROOF are his step Father's Tweets!
Quote:
#thankyouaaron is a HOAX! please check the facts and use logic. Slap in the face for the REAL families
Quote:
@ArmyWife98 @davidmmasters said family was already on the way meet the body ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY. Military doesn't do that!
Anonymity really brings out the animosity (and stupidity) in people.

Funeral arrangements for Fairbairn, which are being handled by Harrison Family Mortuary in Aberdeen, will be announced later in The Daily World.
