In the last year I've gone through a few losses that made me really rethink my personal policy on life, death, and remembrance. I'm creating this thread for everyone to give a salute to their fallen comrades. I'll raise a glass to each and every one of them. I would ask for you to do the same.

Here's mine:

Possibly the greatest man I've ever known, and the only real father figure I ever had, Billy Briggs, died on June 16th. He was taken from us far too early by Cancer, which he'd been fighting for about a year prior. He was one of the greatest Republican Heroes in the world today, and he did great things for Ireland, for America, and for the world in general. He will be missed greatly. Next time you get the chance, raise a glass in honor of Billy Briggs.
