A post about Tincture of Benzoine brought back the memory of Doc Sanchez (HHC 2/505, patched a major flat for me) who passed in the accident. Sgt "Mo" Momoa (C 2/505) was a great father with a good smile and easy demeanor. Both were great men and models, and both were greatly missed.

Apparently there were some SF medics present at JM school who renderred aide, and have remained quiet. To them, thank you.

It was a bad day.
