Heartbreaking to hear about Pete. Rooney. Growing up with my Dad in the army, this was always one of our fears to get a phonecall like this from overseas. Cannot sympathise enough with the Rooney Family. I hope one day you will find some peace 🕊️ but for now, remember all the good times you shared with Séan. Condolences to the whole family & also his comrades who served with him at the time. R.I.P. Sèan 🇮🇪 we salute you 🪖 Mac Eoin Family 💔
