"To Postals family, I would like to say, I am very sorry for your loss. Postal and I had plans to extend over there, we were going to swap over to regiment as a PSD. We never even thought of the fact one of us could die. One day I just came off patrol and he wasnt there anymore. There were many tears shed, that day by all of us. There are still many tears shed every time I think of him. He was one of the best men I will ever know. Carry on."
