Not sure what to say?

Arrived at Fort Bragg in September of 1980. Was assigned to 1st Platoon A co. 1st/508th. SFC Coleman was my platoon Sgt. He became a father figure to me. Hard but fair. Combat vet that trained up his men so they would be prepared if their time came. The lessons he taught me as a young man have been with ever since.

I met 1st Sgt Coleman in 1983 when I was assigned to the 82nd, C co 1/508 Infantry Rgt, mortar Platoon, Ft. Bragg, NC.
It was so interesting to hear him talk about the civil war, so many details.
May you rest in peace brother.
Sgt Torres

I love you Jr.

The God of comfort is near to those that are broken at heart, and promises us that he will undo all the effects of death, and remove death itself.
