Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier

The evening before the tragedy, I will never forget walking into a poorly lit b-hut and seeing Zachary with a flashlight sitting down looking at handmade blueprints. He was wanting to do some work and fix it up so his team could move in there. I have to admit there was an eerie feeling but it was also one of a handful of times that there was...
