R.I.P. – SFC Matthew Blaskowski, KIA 23 SEP 2007 – Kunar Province, Afghanistan

I had the pleasure of working with (then SSG) Ski in OEF6, a brave soldier and excellent squad leader, truly one of the Chosen Few.

R.I.P. – SSG Larry Rougle, KIA 23 OCT 2007 – Kunar Province, Afghanistan

Fuck. I just came across this and a tear came to my eye. I remember partying with Rougle and getting absolutely hammered off of Guinness after coming back from OEF6. We met at a pub nearby the Colosseo in Rome and he just kept buying me irish carbombs! What a cool sonofabitch with a great sense of humor …. goddamnit …. we will miss you.
