Soldier killed by Taliban bomb leaves £100,000 to send 32 mates on trip to Las Vegas

A gorgeous Royal Marine who was killed serving in Afghanistan left £100,000 in his will to send 32 friends on the holiday of a lifetime to Las Vegas.
David Hart took out life insurance before he was killed in a bomb blast while on patrol in the town of Sangin, in lawless Helmand province.

And he made sure all his pals and their girlfriends would get to celebrate his life in style by ensuring a big chunk of the £250,000 insurance payout went on giving them a party trip to remember.
His friend Andy Hare, 25, told the Sun newspaper: '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'.'
David, who lived with his parents Chris, 60, and Dilys, 54, in Poppleton, near York, was killed a day before his 24th birthday.
He left £50,000 to his favourite charity for injured Marines as well as a sum to his family.
Dad Chris told the Sun: 'Since his death, all of his friends have been round to see us.

'It's nice they have been there to support us.'
His sister Sarah, 27, added: 'He was the best brother I could have wished for. He was caring, funny and had an infamous grin.
'He would always be there for you. I'm proud to have been his sister and of his career as a commando.'
David joined the Royal Marines in 2009 and served with 40 Commando. Shortly before his death he had qualified as a combat medic.
His Commanding Officer Lt Col Paul James described him as 'a perfect commando'
He said: 'He was a young and deeply impressive marine who was fiercely courageous and always thinking of others before himself.'
Chris, Sarah and David's pals are embarking on a 170 mile charity cycle ride in September to raise cash for the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund.

Don't understand either. Yep, he was handsome but he also brave, generous and loving son. Sure he had many good qualities and his death will be grieved by many.

Another nice white man dead. Your race is depleting, interracial marriage, war, inbreeding ..... You always care about other races beacuse of the bad things you had done in the past. But you forget that yout own race is endanger. I'm not talking about dophins or tigers... I talking about white people.

He was a cute commando! But it seems like he really did care about his family and his fellow Marines to have done this for them. Too bad more guys aren't like him.
