Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"We served together a long time ago but I still think about you. We had some good times (and some bad times) in Kosovo. We had that tiny house and even smaller room for all four of us! Then went to the big times and got tents with wood floors, ha!

For your family the Tuialuuluu:

Please know that Salamo is remembered every day, not just Memorial Day which is tomorrow May 31, 2021. He was my brother and all his brothers and sisters will never forget him. His bigger than life personality always made a place or situation a little brighter. Much love to you all!"

"To the family of Salamo, Remembering Salamo as a little as a little boy, running around Fryar Loop, seeing him in kindergarden at Manor View, see him playing with my son Quentin Beauford. I didn't know him as a man, but I'm sure that he turned out to be a wonderful son, brother, husband and father. My prayers are with each and every one of you. As a fellow soldier and conrade in arms, Salamo I salute you."

"If you are able, save them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.( "Major Michael Davis O'Donnell 1 January 1970 Dak To, Vietnam.") America has been built on the blood of Heros and Brave Men of Honor who answered the call. A fellow veteran wants to thank this hero for his service, and my cherised freedoms. May you rest well in Gods loving embrace brave hero, and may God bring comfort to your loved ones for their sacrifice. You shall never be forgotten by a grateful nation.""

He always loved teaching soldiers and he was a true assett to my platoon for the year I served with him. I left the next year to teach at Univ of Nebraska and I heard the bad news and I cried for two day and thought I should of been their with him and sgt Mitts. God bless him and and God bless the ones he left behind. Bore Brother Bore T"
