Read MoreDear, Eric. I've been thinking of you a lot today. I'm sorry that your life was cut so short on this day 21 years ago; the same age you were when we lost you. I wish your family the best, and know that you are never far from my thoughts. Sincerely, An NMCB 4 brother.

I remember the day he left to Iraq and told me he would see me later. He was a groomsmen in my wedding at the end of 2003. I have pictures of him spraying "just married" on my SUV just outside our wedding reception on base. I will never forget him. He was so kind and laughed at all my jokes. RIP Eric. You are missed.

Eric served with my son Josh Poole and I have met some of the other Seabees and I just want to say that when they get together they always remember you with a toast. You are never forgotten.
