Re: Former FIRST student and mentor dies in a tragic rocket attack in Iraq today.

From team 1073 we send our condolences to Karl's team and family. I have many friends over in Iraq and not a moment goes by that I don't think and pray for them. I can't say that I can relate to what you are feeling but I can say that Karl is up there watching over you guys. I know it's not the same as having him here but hopefully it helps some to know that he will always be there for you in spirt. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Though we never knew him, he was part of the FIRST family, and that is enough, for us. On behalf of Team 772, "Club Sandwich", our thoughts and prayers are with the Linn family, and Synergy. We hope the you best of wishes, and hope to see you guys at the nationals.

Re: Former FIRST student and mentor dies in a tragic rocket attack in Iraq today.

From Team 461 "Westside Boiler Invasion", I express my condolences to the Linn Family. Karl expressed honor, bravery, loyalty, and courage on a level I can only begin to understand, and honorably did his duty in trying to bring freedom and security to Iraq. I, as well as my whole team, offer the deepest prayers for his family.

Re: Former FIRST student and mentor dies in a tragic rocket attack in Iraq today.

The posting on this web forum from Dick Linn (father) and Tan Linn (younger brother) are what really rip my own heart out..........

The official DoD release is HERE.

Adding yourself to these DAILY press releases is a very sobering and educational experience if you wish...........

KNOWLEDGE is the strongest tool in freedom and democracy. Get it and share it with others.........

The VCU School of Engineering pointed us to this article by the Times Dispatch which gives a little more detail about the incident, though is less specific to Karl.

My sincerest condolences as a VCU School of Engineering student, and FIRST mentor. My prayers are with all of our soldiers and their families.

Sam

Re: Former FIRST student and mentor dies in a tragic rocket attack in Iraq today.

I wish to express the heartfelt condolences of Team 1073 of HBHS.

Not long ago, our school lost a member of the sophomore class. The loss of a young friend is never something easily dealt with.

Best wishes,

--Petey
