Guys,
I attended Kelly Hornbeck's funeral in Ft. Worth. It was a cold, rainy day but nobody complained. The SF contingent was led by a BG, Kelly's Bn Cdr and Bn CSM. The Honor Guard did a great job of it all. Kelly is buried in a family plot atop his brother who took his own life several years ago. FYI, my brother-in-law's family knew Kelly's mother who was from their home town of Cisco, TX. Small world out here. There were three of us from Chapter XXXI of the SFA at the funeral. The NCOIC of the Honor Guard from the 10th Group best summed up what kind of soldier Kelly was when someone told him that they were sorry the Honor Guard had to stand out in the rain in their Class A's; he said, "This rain don't mean shit! We'd walk through Hell for Kelly!"
Vaya con Dios for an SF warrior.
Richard
