Logan S. Daniels approximately 6 hours before his death in 2006 on a Classified Operation in the Hindu Kush. Logan was an only child and both his parents had died in an accident when he was young, so he had no other family. He handed me 2 \u00a0letters that day, one addressed to his girlfriend of 7 years, Brandi and this one, addressed \u00a0to me.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Dear Brent<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">If you are reading this them I am dead, and no longer around to out shoot you or kick your ass in Madden Football or MW3 on Playstation, damn I am gonna miss that!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I am not good at long letters, so I will make this short and sweet. Those fuckers we are going to fight today. I know for a fact that if we don&#8217;t kick their ass here and now, and stop them cold, then this war is gonna get to America and innocent people will die. Do me a favor, and I am serious: don&#8217;t waste time mourning me or putting up memorials about &#8220;being a hero&#8221; and all that shit: Vengeance, not Remembrance \u00a0is my request. Please bro..pick up a rifle and go and plant as many of those fuckers that killed me as you can. These jihadist pieces of shit have proven what they are: barbarians and we can&#8217;t let this shit get back home man..because if it does, innocent people will die, and that not the way this is supposed to go down bro. The fight is here for a reason&#8230;go and do your job.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Anyways, I also wanted to tell you that you can have the three most valuable things I own right now: My Truck, My gun Collection and my Dog&#8230;That truck is brand new and paid off so you are one lucky fucker&#8230;enjoy it! All I ask on my guns is give Brandi my Sig 229 and teach her to shoot it&#8230;I had promised I would teach her when I got back, but that is not gonna happen now. Take care of her bro, this is gonna hit her really hard. My dog, Jake is being taken care of that nice lady that lives across the street from me, be sure to take him for rides and give him bacon on Sundays..he loves that shit.(All his stuff is above the washer and dryer in the utility room).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Anyways, I guess that&#8217;s it man&#8230;hang in there, look after your squad..they will be depending on you. Also, Remember to hit the rifle range often because you really suck&#8230;ha ha (no seriously you do). Make sure they give the flag to Brandi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Hang Tough, Semper Fi<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Sgt. Logan S.
