I lost a friend and American lost a hero yesterday. (NC_Zuk)

Post by BlueRidgeRunner »

Lost a true American hero and friend yesterday:

Master Sgt. Art Lilley
US Army 7th Special Forces
Fort Bragg, NC.

He leaves behind a wife and two children. Art was killed in Afganistan and I currently don't know all the details to his death.

Art was one of my best friends and I can truefully say he was a hero. Everything he ever did was in support of our country. To sit down with him and hear him tell a story about one of his missions or get to hang out with him on the trail was a big enjoyment to say the least. Art always took his responsibilities very seriously. He loved his family, his country and the off-road community. Just this past Tuesday I told him how I really looked forward to his return in November so we could get together and do some 4 wheeling. Rawlings and I had planned on working on his trail truck in order to get it in shape for his return from his deployment. Art, I am sure you are in a place where you will feel no pain. Rest in peace my friend. I will pray daily for your family. You will be missed. Thanks for your faithful, heroic, un-selfish, service to our nation. It has been a privledge to call Art Lilley my friend. God Bless his family.
