Those of us at Jefferson Barracks sad our last goodbye to a bright young man. His fellow soldiers and family shared the grief and honor they felt being a part of this man’s life. It is his life we honor. His death we mourn. The Guardian’s flags flapped in the breeze as we caravan to the cemetery. It was a sight to behold. If Gunnar was watching, what a kick he got. Don’t wait for death to honor soldiers you know. Honor them now. Send letters and packages. Let them know they are loved and cared for in the now.
