We were all bright red. He was a good person and a good friend to my brother. I'll miss you.

I was the Company Gunny/ Camp Commandant for 4th LAR at Khan Neshin Castle when Centanni and the rest of jump platoon went on that last patrol. He used to volunteer f0r my working parties all time. I remember saying to other leaders, I hope my boy turns out like him . A good young man. Not a day goes by I dont think about him and SgtMaj. Cottle.

I admire all service members and there selfless sacrifice to their country and brothers alike that are deployed to defend against the freedoms we regularly take for granted. I love my life in the Army because people like Rick are an honor to serve next to. Only one who enlists experiences the true understanding about what we all go through. Hooah and Hoorah.
