On Thursday July 5, 2007 my good friend and former baseball teammate Cpl. Jeremy Allbaugh was killed in the al Anbar province of Iraq, he was 21 years old. It’s strange, I’ve been friends with him since the seventh grade and that was the first time I ever referred to him as Jeremy, I always called him “Allball”, and he always responded to it. I feel sorry for the people that didn’t know him, because they missed out on getting to know a once and a lifetime guy. Here is a link to the Tulsa World article about Allball, please take the time to read it to understand the sacrifice he gave for all of us. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?articleID=070710_1_A1_World63278

I am sorry for your loss. He sounds like a great man. I wanted to say thank you for the sacrifice you, his family, and his other friends have made.
Those people are doing our dirty work and I respect them for it.

What a tragic loss of a young man - I have Jeremy's family and friends in my thoughts and prayers tonight. There aren't any words to make sense of this .
