Always a bit of a tough weekend for me. I encourage everyone - especially those who did not serve - to Google Paul Hardcastle's song "19" for perspective. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somethings just can’t be talked about. A lot of us have seen things that we will never forget. A lot of my friends never came home, some came home missing body parts, some came home missing their soul. I will never forget. I am proud to call my fellow soldiers my brother as we all share something. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 31, 2021 I went over to Ft. Logan this morning to pay my respects to the many who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I was please to see that Ft. Logan had a lot of traffic this wet, dreary morning. People have not forgotten what today is all about. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
