I talked to him almost everyday on the radio as we flew overhead support for his patrol. Attended the ramp ceremony a few days ago, really heartbreaking to see his platoon. Especially considering he was less than 14 days away from going home. RIP A-46, see you on the green. Thank you for updating this thread Nutsy, it's an honor to these guys and their families.
