Thinking of you Jeff. You are joined this week by one of your brothers... AJ Lapanna. The men of C/1/20, active & retired, rallied in force to support his family. Your name was mentioned on more than one occasion in the discussion. May you rest in peace and enjoy the love of those who have never forgotten your sacrifice.

On May 23rd, 2015 my family and I participated in the I Did the Grid 4 mile run/walk. The run is organized by Team Chris, an organization founded by the family of Cpl. Christopher G. Scherer who was killed in action in July of 2007. As part of the run participants carry the names of four fallen heroes on our bibs to honor the sacrifice that they and their families have made so that we and our families may live free. There are no awards or medals. We ring a bell in honor of the names we carry when we cross the finish line. Jeffrey's name was on my husband's bib. We cannot begin to know your sorrow but we can promise you that he will not be forgotten and that your family will remain in our prayers.

Thank you Maj. Jeffrey Calero. For his family, may the pride you felt in your son be helping you sustain . It was not in vane. My Iraqi brother-in-law is now able to return to see his family after being a political refugee for many years. This is just one example of how the Operation helped both our nation and the Iraqi nation.

Jeff,
I only spoke with you a few short times, but heard about how great of a man you were from those closest to you. We served together overseas and I only wish I had the chance to really get to know you. I can't even begin to tell you how often I think and pray for you and your family. You are always remembered and your sacrifice is never forgotten. Rest in peace sir.
