To the family and friends of SGT Speed as I knew him. This young man was not only a good NCO but an awesome person. I remembered that one time when I was chewing him out for something. He just stood there an took it all in and never complained or blamed anyone else. I didn't tell him but from that day, I knew he was one of the NCO's that I could depend on. From one HOOKER to another fly high and RIP!
