I've no connection to the military service. However looking at the RTE news this evening and seeing Sean's remains arriving in Dublin, seeing his mother and fiance was just heartbreaking, as a mother myself and an Irish citizen I want to say thank you Sean for your service and to his mother my heart breaks for you and your loss, your son and fiance paid the ultimate price with his life. Saying sorry for your loss doesn't even come close to how this nation feels for the sacrifice that you all have made. R.I.P Sean
