The loss of a friend, the loss of a man. Even if his life was short, his efforts remain. My friendship with him is the same. With new officers taken on the task the memories of his standards are here to last. A big tree and a snowy night changed your life but your friends still carry your light. With every day your thoughts are here and all your brothers still care. Thanks to your efforts we are safe and your brothers will see you again one day.
