British Royal Marine Killed in Afghanistan Wills £100,000 to Send Buddies on a Vegas Bender


Last year a 23-year old Royal Marine took out a life insurance policy before deploying to Afghanistan. He wrote a letter home instructing that a £100,000 chunk of the £250,000 policy should be used by his buddies for a Vegas bender in his memory if he died. Sadly, David Hart, a combat medic, paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country in Afghanistan's Helmand province the day before his 24th birthday. Now 32 of his buddies and their girlfriends are preparing for the party of a lifetime in honor of Hart's valor and service. Bro of the Week? This Bro hero has this week locked...


A few exceprts about this absolute Bro Legend from today's Sun. His commanding officer called him, "the perfect Marine - magnificent in personality and profession." Here's what his buddy said about him:

 

"He loved going away with his mates - it was always the best two weeks of the year. They were lads' holidays and great times." "In his letter David said he had had a great life and had no regrets about anything. He always said he would do something like this if something bad happened. He said, 'Go and have a good time and spend all this money'. All the lads said, 'What a guy'."

 
$80,000 of the policy will go toward a charity group for injured Marines and his family will receive $160,000. Also, a group of friends and family are planning a charitable bike ride around the United Kingdom in honor of Hart's memory. Check out details at their fundraising page here.
 
 
When you crack open a beer tonight, raise your glass and toast a man who died for his country and figured out a way to send his Bros on an epic Vegas binge in his memory. What a guy indeed.
