Aaron Lee Preston

Aaron was a very close friend. He was also the guy that jumped in and helped me out in a scrape. There were others along the way that have had their opportunity and chance, but he´s the only one who actually did. I´ll add that his sterling record of being a man among men coincided with the fact that my luck in finding knuckleheads seemed to include him on numerous occasions.

It has been no less than 16 years since he passed, and yet the pain is still fresh and alive.

I attended Aaron's burial with my son to both show my last respects to a local hero and demonstrate to my son the sacrifice that men and women have made to protect the freedoms around the world. My son has always had an interest in serving his country since he was just a small child. He needed to see first hand the impact of war on families. I remember the quiet ride back from National Cemetery and pulling into the drive and asking my son if he was sure he wanted to enlist. I will never...

I am serving in Afghanistan right now. No fight or battle will ever be in vein for our fallen brothers.
