RIP, CPL Aimesbury. May God comfort your surviving friends and family.
A grim reminder that in the military, even peacetime training isn’t free of risk.
Peacetime training is hard, because we do a dangerous job.
May the Angels of His Mercy bring solace to his family and friends.
Rest well, Ranger.
RLTW.
A similar incident happened to one of my sons a few years ago….fortunately, he survived.
Deepest sympathies to the Aimesbury family.
Barely old enough to buy beer, but a Ranger and a combat veteran.
Other “kids” his age are crying for safe spaces in college or living on mama’s dime.
RIP Ranger Aimesbury. Thank you for being a Man.
Rest easy, Corporal.
Prayers for the family as well.
