My heartfelt condolences to those who loved Pte. Seán Rooney. My late brother served with the 45th Infantry Battalion UNIFIL so I know that you are enduring the worst nightmare of every peacekeeper’s family. Alongside your great sorrow at Seán’s loss, you must feel an immense pride in him. I hope that can bring you some degree of comfort in the days ahead. May Seán rest in peace.
