19 young men from my hometown of Kent, Washington are on that wall. I knew a few of them. But I will always remember a young man I went to Basic training, Leadership school and 2 AITs with. We wrote for almost a year after training. Then my letters were returned to me. I later got a very nice letter from his mother. She was given his belongings and found my letters. She offered them to me but I sent her the letters he had written to me. We kept in touch until she passed in 1980.

Please thank any active or veterans that you know for their service. RIP to all of our fallen comrades.

The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Not just statistics. Part of a story, or maybe a summary of the dark part of a story.

Thanks for posting.
