A sad day for NWFA!

[Gaucho Gringo]

RIP Sgt Nambu. We have lost another good member and it is great loss for all of us here. My condolences to the family and grant them the strength to carry on in a time like this. The fact that Sgt Nambu is also being mourned by a great number of other people may somehow help them with their pain. Although I read the news yesterday, it took me until now today to write this.

Some of the members here posted about some sort of memorial or memorial status for members who have passed on. We have lost several other good members in the past year or two. There should be someplace permanent on this site to post stories and remembrances of them.

Farewell and Godspeed to you, Sgt Nambu

He'll be missed. Don't know what else can be said. The world is a bit dimmer today.

Even the state of Washington lowered their flags in honor of Sgt Nambu.

SALUTE Brother.

Well dang Sarge. I'm at a loss for words. I hope when I'm called home, I'm remembered as fondly as you are. Rest easy Sarge!

This place won't be the same. He was the only member of this board I ever hoped to bump into. Rest easy.

RIP... I was hoping he'd win his battle with cancer. At least he no longer has to battle it.

RIP... I was hoping he'd win his battle with cancer. At least he no longer has to battle it.

From what he posted, I think he did win that but the treatments left him so weak he couldn't fight off a whole range of other things. It was the fight that he fought so gallantly that killed him as is often the case with cancer. AFIK.

I really feel a hole here without him and have been missing him as he posted less and less.

We should try to have these meetups more often with less fanfare so that we don't have to make big plans to attend. Needs to be more ad hoc and more of them. If you miss one, you get the next. Don't want to lose anyone else without having some face time.

Rest In Peace I'm Praying for you!!

It would be nice (an honor) to attend SGT Nambu's funeral service or burial.

If anyone knows, please-please post or send me a PM?

The funeral service will be a small family affair, however there will be a remembrance on May 20. @Ura-Ki and/or @Caveman Jim will be providing details. I, likely among many others from NWFA, will be in attending.

So sad, so sorry.

Happy trails Sarge, maybe our paths will cross again someday.

As the details become available we will let you all know.

Aww damn RIP

Would it be unpatriotic or even against the law if we were to purchase an American flag and each one of us sign it?? Then @Ura-Ki or @Caveman Jim could deliver it to the family.

I like the idea, but have a problem with defacing Old Glory. A signed NWFA t-shirt accompanying the Stars and Stripes might be a better idea.

A poster of an American flag, signed then framed might be a better idea
