I don’t remember hearing about this when he awoke. I feel bad for the family though. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/21/coma.death/index.html
yeah he woke up while i was still in iraq … went to grade school and highschool with Tom (guy in the pic) … happened to him when we were in 8th grade. it was some wierd shit just because he was so young when it happened (his dad)
i saw that on the channel 2 last night. they kept showing the screen shot of him when he was sick. if i were his family i wouldnt want him remembered like that.
FYI: pneumonia is a lot like a painful flu. I’ve had pneumonia twice. I would imagine that dying from it is extremely painful. 
I’m glad he’s getting the full honors though. RIP
Rest in Peace, Fireman.
