Fallen Heroes of Operation Enduring Freedom

"Hey Sykes...
What else can I say that other have not said already? We miss you brother, you were the first to greet me to germany,and thats something I cant let go... We were neighbors in the barracks, and I cant forget the times we hung out... I cant forget your smile, laugh, or your walk. The hair style always had me laughing, I thought it was the most greatest thing in style. Every year, I give toast to you for thanks giving, you and the rest of the crew of big windy 25 all played a part of my life in one shape or form... I still cant forget the last time I saw you, the day I passed you, youre weapon for the mission.
You gave the ultimate sacrifice for us, and to you I owe my greatest respect. I miss you brother..."
