Lt. Col. David M. Scales

Hi Dave tried to post yesterday, but the site must have been over run. I wanted to let you know you are not forgotten. Your veterans banner flies proudly in the Diamond of our hometown. Right on the corner of 6th and Dresden ave. thanks for saying hi like that. Sleep well Hero!

My Hero, there are very few days that something about you doesn't cross my mind. Your music, you laugh, and warm personality. Sleep well my friends.

Twenty four years today. Dave's and your family's sacrifice for all of us lives on. May the memories continue to be of comfort.

Twenty-three years have passed and it still seems like just yesterday. We'll always remember Dave and all others who gave all for us.

We miss you! Ashton and I miss you. Still. We think of you every day - not just once a year. We talk about you so often. We will never forget, and we will always love you.

Sleep well Hero

As is the case at this time each year, you and others from the G-1 come to mind. My wife also reminds me that I was scheduled to be with you and the staff for a meeting on the morning of September 12. I had an afternoon flight to Reagan National, a room in Crystal City, and would walk up to the Pentagon on Wednesday morning, pick up my badge and come up to your area. Instead, on the morning of 9/11, I was called to the G-1 terminal in the USARC EOC; TVs were on and I could see smoke coming...

East Liverpool, Ohio class of 75 will not forget you, David.

Twenty-two years ago today - we'll always keep our memories of Dave close. We owe a continuous debt of gratitude to Dave and those heroes who are keeping our world safe.
