View all 163 ReflectionsI had the privilege of deploying to the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Africa with Alan as a young Staff Sergeant with the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) in 2004. He was a fantastic teammate and mentor to this young Army Captain. He was a consummate professional and brought exceptional skills to complex situations, and always upbeat and one hell of a funny guy.
I will miss you, my friend. He did not deserve to die like this. God bless his family.
