I served with Jerald when we were stationed together in Lewis. He reenlisted to go to Hawaii. It is hard to remember him, because I have been to Iraq and Korea since I last saw him. I remember him and his Soldiers. I offer my utmost condolences to his family. Jerald was Duece Four before the tour in Iraq and will be one of us forever.
