letters from the field

My darling wife,

Today was one of the most difficult days I've experienced since this war started. Even in the midst of this conflict Dan finds a way to make us laugh. But today even Dan couldn't mask his pain behind humor. The news may reach you before this letter arrives, but today we lost our brother Shane Morris. His death is taking a toll on all of us.

We tried so hard, but we just couldn't get the B point armed. Shane gave his life to help secure the objective. Nerder saw Shane go down from a Russian sniper bullet and told Nic to cover him. Nerder ran towards Shane's body, hit "E" and picked up his medic kit.

But before Nerder could switch to the defib-gadget...

Shane was gone.

Please keep the Morris family in your prayers. I hope to return home soon, but we have to defend the very points we attacked yesterday.

love,
