He had an insatiable love of travel. He was focused and driven applying his intellectual curiosity to his work as he did the world around him. He set the standard for those around him but did so with a wonderfully human and dry witty sense of humor. It's been nearly 25 years since we served together but the impression he left on me allows me to hear the sound of his voice in crystal clarity to this moment. It was an honor to serve with him.

He was a friend of a good friend that is home. I just wanted to take this moment to thank him and his family for keeping us safe. I know there are a lot of opinions on war etc. call it what you want - conflict war preserving freedom - someone has to do it. Those who volunteer to go do this are serving a greater purpose. Thank you for ensuring that I wake up with water, food, fuel, electricity, freedom to be, freedom to move, and most important safe from attack. This is all thanks to MS Magnani and those who have passed away protecting us. Your commitment to freedom and protection of the innocent will never be forgotten.

I'm thinking of him today, this memorial day. I'm grateful for his service and sacrifice but sad that I'm still here and he's not. Thank you for stepping up to protect us, Master Sargent Magnani. You will not be forgotten.
