Although I never personally meet this young man my heart felt condoliences go out to his parents and his family. Im sure he will be missed by his family and all who knew him. Hopefully he is in a better place and may he rest in peace.

These young people get sent over there everyday and put there lives on the line for the rest of us. I have the upmost respect and admiration for these folks.

I didn't know him well...

But thanks man

pinkpony_racing · 03-03-2007, 12:49 PM

Wow I really didnt know him but could'nt help feeling really sad that I did'nt he sounded like a very nice person. He is brave and generous, he was one of the few who insure we wake up everyday to a country that is free of chaos and for that I will be eternally greatful. For our children future I thank him and his family for rasing such an outstanding young man. But we at LSS can insure his memory lives on forever. Pls do give detail about the benifit in his name maybe we can make a model of his car in stone and leave it at his grave sit then his beloved will forever be with him just an idea

Found a great link that links back to more great links about Darrell. He's truely missed.

JENA · 03-03-2007, 02:53 PM

Wow, his Myspace page is really emotional, my heart truly goes out to his mother who is obviously still coping with her loss. I couldn't even begin to imagine her pain. God Bless.

RIP Darrell

It is very very sad to lose a fellow Mustang guy, a soldier defending us while we stay and go on about everyday life. While we are fixing, washing, and thinking about our next mod to our stangs, Darrell was dodging bullets and IEDs. I wish he made it back home, but he is off in a better place.

how'd he die? what was his MOS, rank, and billet?

i've never talked to him but i'll have a drink for him. i've only been in the service for 1 1/2 years and i'm already tired of people dying.

The Shipp family was informed Thursday that their only son was killed Thursday morning by an improvised explosive device. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle he normally drove was broken and instead he was driving a Humvee.

pinkpony_racing · 03-04-2007, 12:43 PM

Me too. It's sad to think of the number of unnessary deaths. Who knows what the total will be by the time this war finally ends, I know for sure in the thousand's..... And we need a new president....

I could build one...It would be plastic, not stone, but it were put in a sealed box I bet it would be okay...Or, I think Maisto makes a GT model but it might only be a convertible.

edit: AutoArt makes a nice black GT (Bullitt), and these are some of the nicest diecasts I've owned. http://www.autoartmodels.com/pages/s...php?item=72857

to add to the info posted above, he was a 19D, Cav Scout

Firstlady · 03-05-2007, 06:04 PM

So what do we have to do to order one of those cars?

I think it would be good to do the memorial cruise to his grave site and leave it there.

How about we set a date and do it?

ezblonde · 03-06-2007, 08:13 AM

I was also thinking about getting shirts made, buying in bulk and having them made. Then selling them and see where his mom would like it to be donated too??? Whatch think?
