Inspite of his staggering and unimaginable loss, he said he bore no ill will toward the Marine Corps pilot who ejected safely before the jet plunged into his neighborhood and added, "I pray for him not to suffer for this action. I know he's one of our treasures for our country." WOW. His dignity and grace brought tears to my eyes. May his family rest in peace.

I have been feeling so sad about this incidence since Monday and pray that he and other family members heal in time. How very tragic it is to have such unexpected accident happened.

Hope the Marines will give him the support he deserves anyway and maybe we can look into avoiding these stupid accidents to happen by not flying so close/over residential zones?????
