    Diego is my older brother, I’ve been waiting a long time to hear the details of that day. Thank you for sharing

    Thank you for this. I’m sitting here sadly drunk, with not the best mindset. I’ve had the pleasure of serving 9 yrs. Now things just seem over lately. I’ve been having bad thoughts. But this definitely got me thinking about maybe not giving up. There’s so much more out there for me. Thank you.

    He sounds like a true soldier, no annamosaty , no self glory. Just the right dude at the right time in the wrong situation
  • @oneandonlyTan
    The fact he had to wear his buddies kit must have been rough
  • Seeing SOF guys discussing sobriety as a part of their healing is so commendable. It's such a taboo topic in the community, but I feel so many could benefit from starting that conversation.

    Nick Jones is the epitome of resiliency and how having drive and a positive attitude can pull you through almost anything. Amazing human being doing amazing things daily.
  • I went to Boot Camp with Diego. Then SOI together. He was in the reserves at first. I got sent to 2/7 Fox. We were close. This is the most I’ve heard about that day. His ex wife called me that day while I was in my electrical apprenticeship class. Thank you for sharing this. He was a true warrior. I miss him every day.

    My cousin Ryan Lowrey and great friend was on the plane over Mississippi. He was one of the best men ever. The last time I talked to him he was going out on a 100 mile run. Sorry for your loss.

    I went to highschool with Leach. It was heartbreaking when this happened. Crazy to see a video 6 years later with his picture again.

    Totally answered the question of “I don’t know how, but they knew we were coming” shortly fallowed by “ 26 Iraqis”. One if not more def dropped the dime on the dime on this dudes squad. My uncle (retired warrant officer at 3rd SFG) said if you get 10 locals in their partner forces, at least 2 will out the whole team to the enemy. Said it was worse in Africa when he was at “Africom”

    I deployed and was good friends with Sgt. Murray. I remember hearing the day he passed. Man I still can’t even believe it. Joe was one of the best people I ever met.

    I grew up in Olathe and know Nick and Zach through many close mutual friends. Nick is a good man and so many of us still here in KC are proud of him and what he was able to overcome. Thankful to God that he made it back, recovered and is using his experiences to make positive moves helping others coming back home from similar hardships.

    I remember Navas well, served about 4 years with him in 2/3. I was saddened the day i heard, thank you for sharing this story, Nick. For 4 years I’ve wished to know the details. Semper Fi, brother.
