Hello! [RIP RandallFlagg]
 

Hello folks here..


My name is Christopher and I am (was) RandallFlaggs son. I tried days ago to post a quick message about my Father but for some reason it wouldn't take?

My Father passed sometime between July 28th and August 30th of this year. He died attempting to help people who could not help themselves. I can't/won't go into much detail but needless to say, his family (my Mother, Sister and I) are devastated, however we know that he wouldn't have his service be any other way.

It was a private venture into another country and he was to provide logistic support for other men. Unfortunately, as they were achieving their goal of helping folks out, they faced an ambush and may Father and 2 others were killed. I have it on good authority though that he took several with him, though.

Mom talked about how much he loved engaging on this forum. She gave me his logon information and I thought I would post this quick note to inform all of his passing. Sorry, it has taken a while to commemorate Dad, but we were asked to "keep it under wraps" for a time.

Thanks to all of you who wrote to him on his time here.

Goodbye Chief!! You will be remembered forever. RIP Dad.

Christopher A

Well damn. I'm sorry for your loss Christopher.

RIP Randallflagg

Thank you very much for the update. We have wondered about his absence. It is good to know at least a portion of what happened. It is sad to hear and I am sorry for your loss.

I am glad to know he went out doing what he was good at and obviously enjoyed. I know that I will miss his perspective on this forum.

We were afraid of this.

So sorry for your loss, your father was a great man and you should be very proud of him.

That's unfortunate news to read.

I always enjoyed my interactions with him and thought he was likely a stand-up guy in his life. It would be easy to be proud of a dad like that. My condolences to your family for their loss.

This is sad news, but it sounds like he acquitted himself with honor. Peace be upon him and your family. I am sorry for your loss and I thank him for his service.

I'm really sorry to hear this. Your Dad was a good man.

damn.

RIP sir.

Damn.

Damn, until Valhalla brother.

A man who's actions backed up his words.

Well **** me...this is just awful news.

RIP

Anyone else think this thread should be in the Lounge instead of the cesspool?

We are all grateful to what your father did and will miss him here on CP.
Please take care as a family.

May he RIP

I’m sorry.

“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

RIP. Really enjoyed hearing his takes on politics and society in general.

The man had quite a bit of wisdom to share....

Crushing news

I feared he might be gone but figured it would've been cancer, not something like this... running around some apparent (I have a guess where) war zone at his age, trying to help people

I had much respect for your Dad, very very sorry for your families loss

ps - will his book ever come out?

Sorry for your families loss. Glad he went out helping others.

was just thinking that.

RIP, condolences to the family and friends.

Works for me.

Damn. We sorta shared cancer stories together a bit. Good man. RIP Sir!

Sometimes I wondered if he belonged here. He believed in things like patriotism and honor but most of us only shitpost. I know our shitlibs were a shock to his system (most of us are numb to them)

OTOH, it prob reminded him of being in the army. I’m guessing they all had the same types of shitpost convos then, just like here.

Brutal news. I’m so sorry for you loss.

yes

I am very, very sorry to hear this Christopher. He voluntarily risked his live saving multiple people—the very definition of a hero. (Like Easy 6 I've also a guess where, as well.)

RIP Randallflagg.

He is with the Lord now, to that I'm sure of.

Yes.

Randall Flagg was one of my favorite posters.

RIP and God bless to his family.

Sorry for your loss. RIP Marten Broadcloak.

RIP, sorry to hear that.

RIP, seemed like a great guy.

Heartbreaking.
Your family will be in my prayers
RIP Rand

RIP to your dad and my condolences to the family of a clear cut hero!

I'm very sorry to hear this news. Condolences to you and your family. He will be missed.

And, you'll always be his son.

Damn, RIP

Yes, please move this.

You're going through one of the hardest things in life.
May God comfort you and guide you through your life as your father did.

I am very saddened to hear this. [moment of silence].

May he rest in peace.

Really Hard to read. Randall was a Patriot and I have no doubt he took a few with him.
Godspeed.
Sorry for your loss Christopher. You are a blessed man having a pops like Randall.

Gods speed Brother! R.I.P.

RIP. Condolences. He’s a hero.

May he rest in peace

Rest in Peace, Randall. Sorry for your family's loss, Christopher.

A true hero. Condolences to your family. RIP Randallflagg.

Would like to buy a few copies of that book

Rip and thank god he took a couple of scumbag out before his untimely death.

Well, damn! Sounds like your dad was a good man. He didn't post much over the years but I remember him. Too bad he didn't post more. Would loved to have met him in person. Prayers for you and your family and may he RIP.

Nothing but the ultimate in respect for him. It is sad to hear of his passing, but he passed as a hero in the service of others. That is a noble end if ever there was one. You should be proud of him for all he has done.

Condolences. RIP Randall

Given the timing and description you would almost have to assume he went to Afghanistan during the "pull out". There isa month in question there they dont even know the exact date.

My condolences

RIP MY BROTHER

Really sucks to hear this. What a great man and Patriot! RIP RandallFlagg.

Christopher,

Condolences on your loss. As a cantankerous old SOB, myself, let me say, he went out like a warrior should.....boots on. Like Duncan Idaho, your Dad took the "name" of a character from one of my 2 favorite books, so I always read what he had to say. He was a good, strong man, irregardless of his physical stature.

My sympathies Christopher. I liked your father. He was a voice of reason and a good man.

Well ****. Thank you for letting us know, and condolences.

So sorry to hear. Your father is a good man and we share a similar philosophy on many things in life.

God speed!

rip
sec

So sorry to hear this. Your dad was one of my favorite people here. RIP :(

Rest easy Walking Dude.

Randallflagg and I became pretty close on this message board.

During the young part of our lives, our experiences were so similar in the jungles and hills of Vietnam. Although he was an Army "Screaming Eagle" and I a Marine "Walking Dead" we were in essentially the same place at the same time in and around the A Shau Valley.

When you get to be our age, it was nice to find another who had shared experiences so much like your own. And I enjoyed our discussions more than Randall probably even knew.

As for now..........keep the light on for me, Brother. The rest of us will be along shortly. I'll bring the pound cake and you get the peaches.

I leave you with this, Randallflagg. Rest In Peace, My Brother. I have the watch!!

101ST AIRBOURNE DIVISION

Into the skies they flew
with a heart full of pride
to defend our country's freedom
knowing it could be a one-way ride.

God America and family
for freedon's sake each task
the eagles took flight
knowing each mission could be the last.

Many father's eyes filled with tears
many mother's hearts broken in two
yet so proud of their children
for up holding "The Red, White, and Blue".

Many parents, children, wives and husbands separated
by the battles in the skies forever
loving hearts left in pieces with only
a folded flag and a medal.

To all our hero's of the 101st
whose wings feel no wind
your bravery and courage leaves footprints in history
"the great eagles who will never fly again".

Every American owes you a debt of thanks
may God keep you in his heart and hands
because of your selfless sacrifice
as into history, "you will fly time and time again".

Balls of The Eagle

RIP Randallflag
Thank you for your service.

An American hero. RIP

damn... RIP

Dammit, Randal was one of my favorites here. His thoughts and views were same as mine almost to a T. I'm surprised this happened to him in this way at his age but then again not.

I'd like to express my sincere condolences to his family. He seemed to be a great person and a proud American.

He will be missed.

Goddamn it.

I didn't venture into DC much, but when I did I never looked at one of his posts and thought, well that's bullshit. Dude was always real. And he had some really well formed and substantiated opinions.

If he spoke up it was a well informed post.

RIP to a good member and by all accounts a better person.

Just sad news but felt something was wrong when he didn't chime in on our cowardly abandonment of US citizens in that shithole we all know. Instead, this honorable man was walking it not talking it. We have lost one of America's finest. Time to rest soldier you have been released from your watch. You're with your buddies that went before you that should be one hell of a reunion. Prayers out to your grieving family looking up with tears and pride in this good man. We will miss you on the chief's planet for sure.

I hope that your book was finished so that I may read it one day. If not well we missed out on one hell of a story!

RIP Husband Father and Soldier, Gods speed!

That crusty ol' jungle warrior fought on behalf of his country to the bitter end. We lost a good one. Thank you, and thanks to your family, for your service and sacrifice. God bless and RIP.

RIP sir !

RIP RandallFlagg, I'm a big fan of the "Man In Black" novels myself

May he RIP. My condolences to you and your family.

RIP Randall :(

God Bless and Godspeed…

Was always nice seeing him on the DC lounge giving it to the commies on the board.

RIP sir.

Sorry for your loss.

Go Chiefs!

Its just a total trip that this man, at his age, was over there pulling some James Bond level badassery... gunned down by some taliban goat ****er

He doesn't even get the call to come help on something like that, unless he was and is just exactly who he told you he was... a retired, high level military operative

What a stud, tougher than a corn cob... RIP, Sir

damn that's awful to hear. He seemed like a good man, sorry for your loss.
