Sgt. Biekirch is very alive and very well... This is a tribute to him for ignoring himself and doing everything he was trained to do AND more. He kept going until his body quit on him. You can not ask for more, except the life of a soldier carrying out his deed. I am proud to salute this fine American and Soldier. Sgt. Biekirch, you have set the standard.
His name came up in coversation with someone who trained with him in SA before orders were issued. Almost every man in that group earned a citation for something extraordinary. Sgt. B was the exception that proved the rule.
Those that are willing to put everything on the line are those that we all aspire to be. Reading all of these citiations here resonate the same. Extraordinary Americans who laid it all out to be the best they can and to defend our nation the best they knew how.
Sgt. Beikirch, I salute you Sgt. What you have done assures that we have the freedom we have today. Thank you, Sgt.
Ian
