Wade A. Slack

I was the medic on the ground that first came upon SPC Slack......I was not able to save him and to this day he has lived with me and everyday I still serve. I struggle with the wish that he was still able to walk and be with his wife and family. Just writing this brings tears to my eyes with the pain I know his death caused his family. I am sorry I was not able to save him. SPC Slack you never knew me but I will always remember you.

I helped put together SPC Slacks memorial in Afghanistan, and I also wrote the obituary that went out in our battalion newsletter. He was greatly missed by many, even the special forces team who came in full uniform (a very rare occasion indeed) to the event. May his family find peace knowing that he is still remembered by an old soldier.

To the family and friends of Spc. Wade Slack:
Please accept my remembrance of Wade on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. Holidays make this harder to get through and you will find...

I knew Wade for 4 years, my deepest apologies and sympathy for his family. I haven't received a email or a call from him in awhile. I am just now finding out about his passing, and I'm still in denial. Wade was one of the most amazing guys I ever had the honor to know. We had such long talks about absolutely nothing but at the same time everything. I remember the movie nights we had, I encouraged him to watch "A Walk To Remember" and in return he had me watch "Boondock Saints". I can't watch...
