"One Heart. One Blood. One Soul." In basic training you were the toughest, most squared away warrior I remember. Today, in Iraq, I learned of your sacrifice from another one of our brothers from 3032. Almost two years have passed since you moved on, but your legacy is still alive and among us. You will not be forgotten, brother. You are an inspiration to us all.
