16 Nov 2004 You were one of "my guys". As your platoon leader I did my best to bring everyone home but I was not successful. I mourned your loss then and I do to this day. I carry your name in my wallet along with the names of your brothers in arms lost from my platoon. Know that those of us who served with you will not forget. From his Platoon Leader, Robert Whaley r.e.whaley@att.net
