[QUOTE="Gabriel42, post: 2306688, member: 28680"] On my 12th birthday, men far greater than I were doing their sworn duty for country, brothers, and honor while I was most likely whining about something that was only important to me. Several years later I became mature enough to realize that the world was bigger than me and learned of the sacrifices that were made as I celebrated an irrelevant day. For the last 10 years I have worn a memorial bracelet to honor MSG Gary Gordon, one of the two Delta snipers that inserted at the second crash site in order to provide cover and support to the potential survivors. Two men knew that support was unlikely to reach the site in time to beat any hostile locals and repeatedly requested to be inserted knowing that they would only be able to hold out for so long before the hostiles would overrun them. In spite of that knowledge, the two warriors did what they felt was right and gave the ultimate measure in order to buy an injured Nightstalker more time. Not a day goes by that I am not reminded of their actions and those of countless others that have trained, fought, and died for this great country and her ideals. "above and beyond the call of duty" Remember the fallen: MSG Gary Gordon SFC Randy Shughart SSG Daniel Busch SFC Earl Fillmore MSG Timothy "Griz" Martin CPL Jamie Smith SPC James Cavaco SGT Casey Joyce PFC Richard "Alphabet" Kowalewski SGT Dominick Pilla SGT Lorenzo Ruiz SSG William Cleveland SSG Thomas Field CW4 Raymond Frank CW3 Clifton "Elvis" Wolcott CW2 Donovan "Bull" Briley SGT Cornell Houston PFC James Martin Jr. [ATTACH=CONFIG]32694[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
