Yada yada...

Now, what proud parent of an American solder would want a letter like that?

It is sad that this happens. I feel bad for the family and friends of any person that takes their own life. But why in the world would a parent want to receive any type of letter like this? I don't think I would want this type of letter. IDK.
I said condolences... not being a dick. Reading the attached story tells me that is what the parents were expecting. Though, it does creep me out a bit that they would want a letter to frame on the wall.

Dear family,

We're sorry for your loss...
