Private Michael Cryar, I will learn about you as well. You were there that day, when an infantry battle made its way into history. You were there with Gerry, and you went with him to heaven, brothers in arms for eternity. You were all "Mustangs", you were what the Mustangs stood for, bravery, courage, honor, and the ability to do your duty beyond what is asked, without question. I will ask Captain Martin about you, and I will let the world know what I've learned about each and every one of you. Thank You.

"HONOR AND COURAGE"

In Gerry Metcalf's memory,
James Oldham
