Rest in Peace Todd
Todd was the JR Bravo on my first team. He left for 012 shortly after he passed SFCDQC (What is now known as the SFUWOC). I was on CQ the night they called from Starnberger See and notified the Bn that they had recovered his body. I miss ya Bro..
The Front Gate at Panzer Kaserne was dedicated in honor of Todd in 1994. Due to all the new construction, and Frigging USAREUR rules they removed his name from the ugly brown sign outside the Kaserne. Fucking Bureaucrats... So 1-10th SFG(A) raised some green stuff with donations from SFA Chapter V and placed a Memorial Stone outside the gate and rededicated the gate in 2005. I was honored to be a part of the planning committee and the dedication service.
Every year, when we honor our fallen SF Brethren in Germany for Aller Heilige (Remembrance of the Dead), we drive to Todd's cross by the lake and lay a wreath. I think that the current cross was carved by Demmel.
He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten !
