We don’t know if it changed, but in 2007, “[t]he U.S. Army has ordered soldiers to stop posting to blogs or sending personal e-mail messages, without first clearing the content with a superior officer.”
Obviously, this would be incredibly stupid to prevent someone from being able to tell their loved ones their wishes and hopes especially if they died in the very dangerous military.

His legacy lives on with videos online and many messages written in the media. Also, we’re sure he’s said many things to his family because he really did try to live out his life as fully as possible. However, if he didn’t tell his daughter Chloe something that perhaps would of guided her in her future years, we wonder if that would of been something he would of regretted. Perhaps he didn’t even have time to think about it.
Features like being able to tell your children what you think might be good advice when they grow older would be on WhenIleave.com The ability to communicate literally for the many years of their lives could be passed on despite people physically not being in this world.
We can’t predict the ending of our lives, but we can plan for our loved ones’ futures. We hope we can some day be able to love well beyond our years.
