RIP Chief.
My oldest son just got over there and is crew on Army helos. I had a knot in my throat for quite a while until I found out it wasn’t him. God bless the Chief’s family; I can only imagine the pain.
My most sincere respects to his family. These losses of men willingly putting on the uniform and doing the deed, still bother me deeply. 48 years after I returned from Vietnam. RIP my brother. May God Bless.
Rest In Peace Chief.
Another Warrior taken from us far too soon.
Rest in peace, sir. Thank you for your service to us all.
