Although I have since moved to Missouri, I remember reading the story that the AV Times published on your loss. I was so shocked and broken hearted to think that a little one that I taught when he was just 4 had given his life in the ultimate sacrifice. Then a few years ago I saw the memorial highway sign to you on the AV Freeway. I had to stop and take a pic and post it to my FB wall. It took a minute to gain my composure. I posted the pic on my wall again this Memorial Day. I pray for your parents and brother David often.

I have never forgotten about your sacrifice that day. I will never forget the awkward silence of one lone shot that stopped everyone in their tracks. We are all soldiers that is a brotherhood who never forgets thier fallen commrades. Most people don't understand, and they never will.
