RIP Corporal Jacob C. Leicht, he was the 1000th US service member to die fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan.
He was a friend of mine, I was one of the 1st Responders when he hit the IED in Iraq in 2007, that incident almost cost him his left leg, but he fought tooth and nail for 2 long years through physical therapy so he would be able to deploy again. This was his 1st since then he had been there for 1 month when he stepped on a land mine, he was a good Marine and an even better man, he was a friend, a Warrior, and he died a Hero.
