I was reading a thread the other day where had posted. Then was reading where he said he was deploying. "God speed to a Hero". His family and friends will be in my prayers.
Some of you guys know me from hunt-wa but I am one of the admins on that site. We are running some fundraiser auctions for the family of Capt. Blanchard on our forum over there. With Aron Snyder's approval, I'm going to post a link to the thread with the auctions listed out. We've got a bunch of really generous folks donationg golf days, taxidermy, knives, game calls, fishing trips, etc. The list keeps growing. I didn't know Capt. Blanchard other than from the forum there, but the support for this fallen hero is mind blowing. The link to the auction thread: http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,124094.new.html#new
As someone has said Thanks just isn't enough for all of the Men and Women serving. My thoughts are with the family and prayers with be said for him and all his family and friends! Thank You Aaron!
Thank God for a man like this. Will be checking out the auction. Hope his children understand the courage their father had one day. May I never forget the high price of freedom and men and women that pay it everyday for me many times with their lives. Thank you and God comfort your family with love and understanding
Damn. I often forget that death is so close, and so personal. It really sucks to have a reminder like this one. Prayers go out to his family, and I am so grateful for their service and sacrifice.
