Though I never had the honor nor privilege to meet Starcevich in person, I am married to a man who was his fellow comrade and buddy. It hurt me to see my husband hurt finding out that one of "his" soldiers had been KIA. With only words to express his courageousness, humor, and his attribute of being the true definition of a soldier, I feel that I learned a lot about him through my husband.
I wish many peaceful nights for his family who must persevere with only his angel to guide. He obviously meant a tremendous amount of love to so many and I wish that he be in the hearts of everyone forever. He will NEVER be forgotten.
He will forever be in my heart forever. Rest in Peace Brave Soldier. YOU are why we are free.
