Alabama airman and father of 3, Major Alex Klinner, identified as one of the six Americans who was killed when a KC-135 crashed in Iraq.
Klinner was a father to a two-and-a-half-year-old and seven-month-old twins.
His wife, Libby, posted the following on Instagram:
“On March 12, our world shattered. Alex and his crew were on the plane that crashed in Iraq. I'm devastated to lose the best person I know, the person that made everything more fun, my best friend.
But even more so, my heart is broken for our three kids who will grow up not knowing him. They won't get to see firsthand the way he would jump up to help in any way he could.
They won't see how goofy and funny he was. They won't witness his selflessness, the way he thought about everyone else before himself. They won't get to feel the deep love he had for them. He was an incredible person and husband, but he was the best dad.
It still doesn't feel real. I keep thinking that I'll get a text from him saying 'Sorry honey! Didn't mean to scare you' and everything will be alright. Because Alex always made everything alright. We just moved to a new home and we had so many exciting plans in the next few years. Now we are left to navigate the void left in our hearts.
Thank you to everyone who has reached out. Your words mean more than you know.
These are some of the last photos we have together before he deployed. He was crushed that he had to leave us. I'Il forever remember this heartbreaking goodbye.”
I am linking the GoFundMe below that was launched by Klinner’s sister-in-law, Sarah Rose Harrill.
Heartbreaking.

@Mekiedoll In Dorian we experienced many tornadoes. As a powerful storm which is already rotating comes ashore friction from land interactions will spin off tornadoes.
🔥President Barack Obama will NEVER forgive himself for April 30th 2011 at The White House Correspondents Dinner. That was the night he set in motion for President Trump to not only end his entire career ..BUT LEGACY.
His HUBRIS put into motion Trump not only taking the keys to the Oval Office once…but TWICE..when President Trump came back to take them again from his SHADOW THIRD TERM.
🚨HOLY SHIT --
Look what Canadian state media was saying about Tylenol use during pregnancy just 5 years ago!
"a growing body of evidence suggest that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen might alter fetal development"
Today? they're "debunking" Trumps claims! INSANE!
Six years ago today, Hurricane Dorian made one of the strongest landfalls ever observed in the Atlantic, crashing ashore Grand Abaco as an ear-splitting 185mph category 5. It would go on to stall over the NW Bahamas for the better part of 24 hours, mostly at/near C5 intensity.
Dorian still remains among the most visually appealing hurricanes; a function of its incredible symmetry and low tropopause height.

I am done with the rhetoric this rotten House and corrupt media has caused.
EVERY DAMN ONE OF YOU WHO CALLED US FASCISTS DID THIS.
You were too busy doping up kids, cutting off their genitals, inciting racial violence by supporting orgs that exploit minorities, protecting criminals, and stirring hate.
YOU ARE THE HATE you claim to fight.
Your words caused this.
Your hate caused this.
Charlie. His family. Those kids. No one deserved this.
Enough is enough.
