View all 193 ReflectionsJosh, not a week goes by I don’t reflect on our time in the county jail together. Unfortunately, others have followed you to the other side and I am here today reflecting on you Jason Flahve and Brandon Berg. Each of you were dear to me, and I am attempting to live in a way that would make your parents proud and make your existence worth living. Your spirit lives on and I think about you all the time.
I live by one quote something I learned from you, “ if you did not spill the same blood with me in the same mud with me, I don’t know you, I can’t trust you”
You’re with me always.
Your eternal brother in blood and uniform
