norman:  to us that knew you, you earned that coveted green beret.  i never liked football, but i took up playing on the weekends, like you said. 
coach helped me quite a bit with that...

jay:  they still call me slm.  your nickname stuck.  thanks for teaching me how to play, "coach."

justin:  you were right.  as it turns out, sweetwater festive ale IS the best damn beer i have ever had.  im still looking for it on the west coast though...

david(zeus):  i tried the anhydra-something or other creatine.  it didnt work.  i guess i was just born to be a runner. 

to everyone else i didnt mention, i wont forget you if i knew you, and if i didnt, ill do my best to learn about you.  either way, im sure ill meet you eventually.

to those who knew a soldier who gave all, remember them.  our goal in life was never to live forever, but to leave behind something that will.
