Squantos/Jeff Head - Man you guys both pinged me on this. I get up from the supper table walk over to the computer and end up sobbing through the first post I read. I remember the funeral for a brother of a high school friend killed in Vietnam in 1967. A cold March wind coming across the Wyoming plains and a Marine Corps honor guard with the bugler hidden over a hill, still puts chills on my spine to write about it.

I pinged the ones (ones I could remember) I knew it would touch . I'm still awed by the show of respect from that small Texas town for one of those who went into harms way to make their lives safer .
I haven't seen the name of the town or the full name of the Troop who gave the ultimate sacrifice in this thread....maybe I missed it.
Stay Safe and make sure this gets posted at the Fort please. I have sent it to my wing nut connections in Pararescue and EOD..........
