Sad to hear the news. I knew Doug as an assistant coach on my JV football team at La Puente High School 89'-92' I too went into the Army right out of high school, to Ft. Benning.
Thank you for doing more for this country than I ever would have the personal bravery to accomplish myself. God bless you and those you proudly left behind.
