"SPC Creighton,
I heard and felt on my body the blast that took you. You know how they felt from the COP. This one felt different, I knew something bad happened. I wish I could have traded places with you that night... I wanted to crack all the skulls I could to find the guilty one... I wish I could do you some justice... It will all come in the end though. It will. I'll see you when my time comes, brother."
