View all 236 ReflectionsHey bud,
I am at P-22 Waycross getting ready to teach Below 100 at a network meeting and I was scrolling around ODMP for stats. I looked you up again and realized that tomorrow will be the anniversary date of when God called you home. Twelve years ago, WOW! I pass by the memorial to you in the case in the lobby at P-23 almost daily and think of you. SFC Phillips, Sgt. Kicklighter, and Cpl. Young made a good group of NCOs back in the day at P-23 I must say.
You are deeply missed and your legacy lives on in the hearts of those that were so privileged to have known you.
Love you man,
Clay
