View all 165 ReflectionsIt’s hard to believe it has been a year and a half since you were taken from this earth... I just thought about you and the talks we had in the mornings at breakfast when we were half asleep during the academy. You were a great man that died doing the very thing you were born to do. Rest easy, Sarge.
