God bless you, Ranger Duncan. You have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. While others your age are out there being 'knuckleheads', and going to frat parties, you, Ranger, have lead the way! I will pray that your family's pain is balanced by their pride of your service and sacrifice. I salute you.
