easterneagle87 Posted October 16, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 16, 2017 Interesting acquisition. I was there with the 101st. We had so much support behind us and it was over by then. The best thing was, we were going home. You never know what demons people fight, even when things seem normal. Today he is remembered, Rest in peace.
