"Still remember the first time he came in my room in south korea. I had a guitar and was fooling around, and he started moaning out some blues. cant count the hours that he and i and wilson, and cantalini watched movies and drank. i think of him often, and his family that i met in colorado when we got back. i was the gunner in the vechile with him that day.i know he had a little girl at that time, i would like for her to know that he loved her very much, he had pictures of her all over his wall locker doors. he spoke of her often. God Bless your family, and you."
