Officer Down Memorial Page

Everett served with me in Kornwestheim (358 MP BN) as my XO., in 1969-1970. He was a great inspiration, dedicated, focused and unassuming, and one you trusted to always give whatever task his best effort. He was respected not because of his position, but his honorable character. I rotated over a year prior to Everett, and had not kept in touch, and came upon news of his demise through a former Army friend, now nearly 23 years later. I know he would remind me that all we need in any circumstance is direction. That was his way. Respect is bestowed to him, who is scarred, and marred from day to day, but returns w/o evasion to the fray. His cause is just ,it's his only way. Win lose or draw, it's how he'll stay.
