You were one of the coolest kids I have ever met. Bravo Company 2-29 infantry was your first unit and I was there with you. I enjoyed every second knowing you because your personality was so positive and uplifting. I have good memories and pictures that I keep close to honor you my friend. This day I chose, this day to show my gratitude for your sacrifice, but undoubtedly, you will be honored forever...
