Fallen Heroes of Operation Enduring Freedom

"Dear Mrs Flanigan and family.
I deeply sorry to hear about Tim.
I had the honour of being one of his room mates during basic. I was the English guy....Flan was a huge help to me and helped me scrape thru basic with out getting in trouble. Next time we met up i was fixing one of the Apaches at Fliegerhorst, Hanau, little time later i left the military.
In the 6 years i served in the US Army, Flan was one of the few chaps who has left a lasting impression. Tim is a gent and a great chap. His memory will live on!"

"Tim and I were roommates in basic training and again in aerial observor school. After training, I went back to my guard unit and Tim went on to Warrant Officer Flight School with our other roommate, Jason. I got to meet Cassie and Meghan, right after she was born. So many years later, I still think about Tim. Having been so many years since we spoke, I Googled him to get this devastating news. I feel so much sadness, but smile broadly when I think of how Tim got me through flight school and how he dragged me home the bar amd how when I wouldn't have otherwise made it through school without his coaching and encouragement. He will be missed and I won't ever forget him."
Adam Klein of Los Angeles, CA
