YORK, England – A British soldier killed by a Taliban bomb in Afghanistan left $161,500 in his will -- so his friends could go on vacation to Las Vegas, The Sun reported Monday.
Royal Marine David Hart, who had taken out a $403,800 life insurance policy before he was deployed to Afghanistan, stipulated in a letter that in the event of his death, his friends and their partners should travel to Sin City for a massive party in his memory.
"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," friend Andy Hare said. "He said, 'Go and have a good time and spend all this money.'"
Now, one year after 23-year-old Hart's death, 32 friends will fly to Nevada to honor his final wishes.
Hart, a combat medic, also set aside money for his family as well as $80,700 for a charity for wounded Marines.
This is the kind of shit that gives me a warm and fuzzy all over... nothing funny about this story, Guy just put his money where his mouth is.
You bet your sweet ass If I didn't have 30 mouths to feed I would do some shit like this.. family 1st Sergeant thinks shes cashing in on my untimely demise? think again lady...
my friends are hitten up Vegas and not coming back until all the dignity/money is gone.
Can you imagine the pressure these guys are feeling? like if this trip doesn't turn into a made for TV movie- at the very least a Lifetime original it was a complete failure.
and notice how this guy designates MORE money for booze, boobs, and all out debauchery than he does for a charity for wounded Marines?
Noone even cares..guys laid out after a double amputee and they are just like, "good call bro..." fucken classic.
