Brother, I know it has been years since we lost you. I will never forget you or the honor I had leading you in Iraq. You were a great Soldier and friend. My heart still aches for the loss of you and the other Avalanche brothers lost. Until Valhalla, COLD THUNDER.

I never met you David, I briefly met Jen when she toured New Zealand as a teenager, but I know that Jen, having lost you, is shattered and my heart goes out to her.
