April 21, 201412 yr Kevin, I am sorry I missed this on the actual anniversary day, thank you for sharing with us this rare look into a man who has actually been there and back, and has lost as well. I am honored and humbled that you shared with us here, and I hope by writing as you have it has provided some release, and to have your story out in public and by sharing with us those fine young men who lost their lives, that you may find some peace and ration surrounding this event. Thank you for your service Kevin, and we'll remember and honor the sacrifices of CW2 Don Viray, CW2 Nick Johnson, SGT Dean Shaffer and SGT Chris Workman. Drop in anytime, and share with us, we are here for you. John MorrisThe Patriot Woodworker
