Spc. Dane R. Balcon

SPC Balcon I made it a commitment to visit the bridge named in honor of you. I fulfilled that commitment when I had the opportunity to visit San Antonio to see my daughter SSG Stephanie Fematt graduate from SLC course. I made it a point to visit the site where your name is on display and took a picture honoring the sacrifice you made in defense of our country! Dane you are one remarkable young man and I will never forget you. You left an imprint on my soul and I will honor you on this day, a day I will never forget. Honor and Courage CPT Richard Fematt USA(R)

Thank you all so much for the prayers...we received every single one of them. Thank you for the kind words, calls, texts, IMs, messages and flowers. Your continued support and friendship keeps me at a loss for words. If you knew Dane...you already know. If you didn´t know Dane you´d have wished you had. He was a bright light and continues to be a bright light in every life he touched-an amazing soul. An awesome human being. A wonderful friend, son, grandson, brother, cousin, nephew and Soldier. My sweet Dane is definitely missed. May God continue to bless each of you always. I love you

Dane! Please know that your sacrifice is not unappreciated. We are a free country because of men like you. Love!

I miss you every day Dane Dane Gone but never. Ever. Forgotten.
