Think about you all the time brother. You are my motivation to always be there any way I can for a fellow Veteran. Miss seeing you in the morning, dragging yourself into JFT with your Monster drink in your hand ready to tackle the day. You are definitely missed soldier!

I met Jamie in veterans court and became friends and went on to help me on many projects and always told me I was eccentric because I always have random things that you wouldn't normally see. He taught me a few things in the last year and we grew a little closer as he taught me what he knew and when he needed clarity we would call his dad.
