Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"I just found this site so im really late. Stacey I hope you look at this still! Kevin was a good soldier, NCO, and friend. He was one of the closest friends I've ever had. I miss you man! Kevin and Stacey always treated me like family; when I was living in the barracks i kept some stuff at their house (mostly hunting paraphenalia) and we did a lot together; hunting, bowling, fishing, etc. Stacey if you read this please contact me! I lost your number. email kas3pa@yahoo.com"
