No words can be used to say how awful this is. Two guys, trying to do the right thing, cut down but some a-hole.

Very tragic. Unfortunatly it's stories like these that lead people to say "see, this is why you don't get involved" even if it's the right thing.

Go rest high on that mountain my Air Force Brother.
High Flight-John Gillespie Magee, Jr
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air...
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew --
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Memphis is a hard town to live in, SSG Carlos Madden, and many parts of the city are absolutely dangerous. My wife is from there and I lived there in the late seventies. You couldn't pay to get either of us back there to live.
