Tribute to a fallen hero. We all are playing a game here, but he was living the life. We are all deeply saddened that we've lost someone so close to home.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family. Would sure love to see tribute section on this site to ALL military members who actively participate on this forum.

A squaddie of mine wrote this on the VF-31 BBS.

"I know you've all heard this before but freedom isn't free and Jesse ( CO1147 ) paid the ultimate price so the rest of us can enjoy the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. God bless him and all who wear or have worn the uniforms of our great nation." -StarRdr VF-31 Tomcatters [former VF-4]

Indeed

RAT,

Do you have his full name? I feel obligated as an American to understand the circumstances surrounding his loss, since we shared this common hobby, I feel a connection to the guy. I want to know more.

The closest KIA I can find to the name Jesse is one Cpl. Jason F. Lemke, from injuries sustained from an improvised explosive device detonation near his vehicle while conducting operations in Diyala Province, Jan. 5 / DoD Release: Died Jan. 5 in Ibrahim Al Adham, Iraq, of wounds suffered when his vehicle struck an IED

I'm not sure what his last name is but here is his photo from my buddy list on my site. I'll ask StarRdr & or 89Bucky03.

Jesse

Gender: Male

Age: 36

so is this yet another hoax?

there is no one matching this guys description on the casualty list and there is no real name given.

its bad enough I have on my concience that I voted twice for the idiot that started this war that is getting a lot of good people killed and even worse when someone tries to pretend someone I know of died in said war without giving any facts or proof or even dates that remotely corespond to actual events.

This is some real shyte sir. I really can't believe you would think I made it up. I have plenty of people who can back me up.

CO1147/Jesse did not include alot of info. on his "My Page" besides his name, B-Day.

Like I said I need to get in touch w/ Cigarman & 89Bucky03 to get more detailed info. on how he was killed & what his last name is.

He was not in my squad but w/ a squad we did Co Ops w/ & I barley knew the guy but I figured that I would honor a guy who knew some of the original VF-4 that are now in my squad.

Very Bad News

Just thought I would let everybody know that Jesse (Maj1shot, CO1147) was killed in action Tuesday Jan 1 around 3:00 am over in Iraq. He will be terribly missed.
