Not sure what to say?

I saw the name Cheyenne at work today and it reminded me of a childhood friend named Chris in Illinois in the 80s. I remember we both laughed because we went by our middle names.

Been traveling so checking in a little late this year. Not forgotten!

Not forgotten by those you served with.

It's been over 10 years since Sgt. Willey passed and my husband, John Cole has been consumed with grief, and not managing well until the last couple years. The day Sgt. Willey died, it was my husband that was supposed to have gone in that humvee, not Willey... Being young and fresh in combat, Willey's death impacted my husband greatly and sent him down a path that only God could turn into a testimony. Like the others who shared their memories of this special man, my husband too harbors the...

Ten long years has passed but I remain grateful to Cheyenne for his service and sacrifice.
