Dear Sean,
On that fatefull day I was laying to the right of you as we shot our M-16 during those last few moments you had on earth. I sigh each time I think of that split second I heard "Sieze Fire" as I turned and saw you motionless. I was with you then and I am with you now forever spiritually and as your friend. Just an hour before we were laying under that Pine tree talking about FE Warren AFB Wyoming and how I said you would enjoy it there. I have not talked with the shooter but have kept in contact with the other witness. He even sent me an awesome shirt that says your name in big letters. You are trully one of my Heros and I wish I could go back in time to change this memory. I've always wanted to speak with your family but I was forbidden to do so at the Court Martial. As there was three of us there (2 witnesses and the shooter), I don't believe your family knew which one of us did it. I miss you brother and you are forever etched in my heart and soul.

Rest in Peace my Brother In Arms
