Wow, somebody shoulda told him they do make dresses in other colours.

For some reason, I find this way more touching than the parents who married at their kid’s funeral.

That’s a gesture that makes the funeral a celebration of the fallen soldier’s life. Very touching and sweet.

Man, I’m just in tears here, and I don’t normally cry over anything.
Wow, Sandy your son was obviously a wonderful person, cheers to his m8 for keeping the pact.
Honor above all is lacking in most people today.
Thank you for posting this, it brings a touch of humanity to all who witness it.

With friends like that, Kevin was obviously a remarkable man.

That is the most provoking photo I’ve seen in a good while. I hope I have friends as devoted as that.

As Kevins’ father let me just say that we the family knew of this pact between my son and Barry.
We are grateful and proud that Barry kept his promise and Kevin will be sitting somewhere laughing…

Well, I was gonna say it was really brave of him to go through with that, but these two guys were serving their country in a war zone so they were already in the “Brave” category.

I hope no one ever gives Barry Delaney a hard time about this, it was a good thing, doing it out of respect and friendship like he did.

I want a friend like that. And I want to think I could be a friend like that. And I hope where ever he is Kevin is laughing.

That sometimes is the tragic of this kind of promises- At least that is how some are made- You make them almost as silly as possible as a kind of talisman to ward off evil. Kind of like Death himself saying “Noooooo no no no no no these 2 have such a dorky agreement between them, so shameful- Let’s pass them this time and take another soul…”

Problem seems to be that Death has another sence of humor or fairness…

I’m sure they thought it was funny when they made the pact. Best one could hope for those left alive is to look back on it and laugh one day as you toast to their memory.

Respect for his commitment.

…But it’ll teach us NEVER to do stupid promises, even in the hottest moment of the fight…!

I’ve been to Dundee and found the folks to be friendly and the University of Dundee to have a lot of very nice students.

Now that is commitment. The socks were a nice touch.
