Private Rooney, thank you for your service to our nation. You selflessly sought to keep the peace in a violently unstable area of the world. To your family and friends, no words said will lessen the pain you are feeling. May you take comfort in the fact that you are in the thoughts of the entire island at this time. RIP Seán.

We never met, but we never had to. We both served in 27 INF BN, so that made us comrades. Thinking of your family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time. In particular, I am thinking of your comrades as they endure continuing on without you. What comes next will be among the greatest tests of their character, resolve, and leadership. May you rest in peace, and may your legacy be established in the enduring peace that you served to keep.
