It saddens me deeply to hear of Ej's passing. My heart and thoughts goes out to his family and friends. I had the good luck to serve with Ej in the army at Ft Belvoir and Ft Greely. He was a dedicated solider and loved the country he served. I was even luckier to be able to call Ej my friend. We will miss him, but never will he be forgotten in our hearts and minds.
