Words are hard to come by when this happens. My son is assigned to the same Unit as Jason. Jason has been with some of these guys since basic training. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of Jason.

Jason was a great man! His personality left an impression on anyone that knew him. Always with a smirk on his face, and love in his eyes for his fiance. He made her the happiest I have ever seen seen her. And I thank him for that. Jason is loved and missed.
