"This last April 2010 I was on a trip to Washington DC. We stopped at Arlington and as others sought out headstones I walked about with no direction. I stopped and looked down and found myself staring at 1SG's headstone. I too served with him in Mosul, and am not suprised that i stopped where I did. Our unit was a close one, we were all brothers and sisters together. God Bless and continue to look over and guide me."
