When i think of you, this is not the first thing that comes to my head; instead I remember you most for the the way you treated me as I arrived to our unit as a young private. You were the kind of leader that looked beyond the stripes and treated others with the kindness that is not often enough seen in our line of work. I now live in California and my promise to you is that I will pay my respects to you this summer...

You had a special way about you, I remember our last conversation. I will not allow your memory to fade. Thank you for all you did and what you gave Thundercat 17 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 08:49:48 -0800 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/richard-a-soukenka/#c46850 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/richard-a-soukenka/#c46850 Sou, 4 years now. so much has happened in that time. I can't help but to think that the events happening in North Africa and the Middle East right now are directly linked to our presence in Iraq for the last decade. With the common people rising and demanding freedom from their autocratic rulers, the impact of our time and your sacrifice has grown tremendously in the last two months. Now there are many millions more that can experience our freedoms. Sou, I miss you and enjoy telling my children about you and the others that are heros to me. Thank you for everything good you ever did!! Thundercat 16 Sun, 27 Feb 2011 05:33:26 -0800
