If this one doesn’t tug at your heart strings, I don’t know what will.

British Private Richard Hunt was killed last week in Afghanistan when an explosive device struck his company. Hundreds of people including his friends, family and British Army colleagues joined a tribute to Hunt on August 23, 2009, which would have been the soldier’s 22th birthday.

By his parents’ request, no one wore black because this was a celebration of Hunt’s life. Hazel and Phillip Hunt placed a wreath with the birthday cards. Hunt’s father, Phillip also added a copy of the video game Call of Duty:World at War. with handwritten note attached that read:

Happy Birthday ‘Hunty’. Play you again one day. Dad.
