Birchfield en-us https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/aaron-william-simons/#c171856 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/aaron-william-simons/#c171856 He was my best friend in that awkward age of high school. He was driven and focused on a life outside of the average, and was always the unconquerable humanist, with a heart and wit that flowed like a river. He was the kindness in strangers and the true man you could count on. I do not thank Aaron for his sacrifice, I love him for the great man he was and thank him for the time he gave me to know him. I am honored to have lived with this hero.

But one day after school some boys were picking on me...He walked me home. It was a Mile and a half away from his own. Good man. Good Friend. Great Marine! Thank You Aaron!
