It was late summer in 1992, when I found 29 other brothers & sisters. We made a pact to always have each other's six and to never lose touch. Unfortunately for myself I sustained a spinal injury nearly paralyzing me just 12 days before getting on the bus with my brothers & sisters. Over the course of the last 29 years I and my buddy Charlie are the sole members of the crew. To those who've served and those who've lost to service, I thank you and think of you always in my own little ways. Please take a moment this weekend to honor those who've made the ultimate sacrifice in the military, law enforcement, fire, emergency services and life itself. Semper Fi
