“

Dan, you called me a couple of days before you went over there. You told me you were scared but you knew you were doing the right thing and you had great buds going with you. I understood your fear later, as when I went I had the same apprehension. I told you that you'd be fine and they can't kill or hurt you because you were too much of a bad ass. I was wrong and I'm sorry. I remember getting the call from another Ranger that we both knew.....I cried after it set in that it was real. You're gone and I'll never see you on this Earth again. I'm crying as I write this as I miss my friend, the guy that played guitar in my room....showing me a cool riff when I was trying to learn, the laugh that no one can imitate or forget, and most importantly, your beautiful soul. I miss you everyday man. I still have Randy's amp you let me keep after he passed at 4th...you have been with me everywhere I've been and will go and you went with me downrange too. Thanks for allowing me to love you as much as a fellow Soldier can. I am your non-tabbed, medic bud; the guy with the whimpy ankle and big head but who will forever have a hole in his heart missing his friend. RLTW
