Default In memory of a HERO.

I just lost a buddy of mine and a Viet Nam Vet. Two tours w/ 101 st. Two PH's, Two BS w/ V device.
He worked for me, also a vet for six years. We had to talk eachother through a few days from time to time.
Hero: on first UH1 in assault they came under intense fire. Man in front of him shot and KIA.
Gary jumped out of chopper to retrieve trooper while getting the crap shot out of him.
That was the way HE was.
Prayrers for SGT Meadows.

He'll be in our prayers. He set the standard and passed the torch to those of us serving today. Thank you SGT. Meadows.

Again, Thank you. I cannot believe that so many of my buddies are dying too young. They were all Hard Chargers.
