Deletion of Mark A. Forester

Comment: This is the perfect example of an article that doesn't belong in main space but with content that should be kept somewhere. It fails notability, but deleting it would fail  as some references and facts could reasonably belong to an article related to Operation Enduring Freedom

Comment: Fails to meet notability guidelines, his death precludes the likelihood of him later gaining notability.  While the death of youth in war is tragic and I am sure his contribution was heroic, |Wikipedia is not a memorial.  It looks like others have done a fine job across the internet with memorials, and that is where they belong
