Touching Tribute to Fallen Soldier

There are fewer men that I respect more than soldiers. They do a job I couldn't possibly do and they deserve all the respect in the world. This is a touching tribute by a fallen soldier's father. Private Richard Hunt, a member of the British military was killed in action in Afghanistan last week. The funeral happened on the soldier's 22nd birthday and a number of people came to remember him. During the funeral, his father left a copy of Call of Duty: World at War on his grave with a note. You can't read it in the picture, but the note reads, "Happy Birthday 'Hunty'. Play you again one day."

It is both a bit of irony and an extremely touching tribute to one of the world's heroes who died during his own "call of duty". Make sure you tell all the soldiers in your life "Thank You" for their service and their sacrifice.
