As the inscription on a WWI monument in a park across from my paternal grandparents' home said, "For our tomorrows they gave their todays." Salut.
For my childhood friend Staff Sgt. Garth D. Sizemore of the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division and a member of member of Task Force Blue Spader.
Killed in Baghdad on October 17, 2006 when his patrol came under enemy fire during combat operations. He was quoted as saying what he thought about being in his second yearlong tour of Iraq, "Hey man, I'd rather be at home with my wife drinking Russian vodka all day and giving my cat a hard time, but if fighting the enemy here in Iraq keeps the enemy from fighting me in my own country, then this is where I belong."
Miss you buddy.
