I am so sorry to hear about David. My son, PFC Michael Arthur, was serving in David's platoon. Michael was home on R&R at the time of this tragedy. As I put him on a plane today to go back to FOB Loyalty, we talked about David. Michael had many good things to say about him. I pray for David and you, his family.
May God Bless you... |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SFC David R. Hurst. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, David.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
