I had been following Shay's updates on Twitter and his blog, Through Amber Lenses. Folks have been leaving messages in the comments section of his last entry.

Fellow blogger and former 5/20 INF soldier Alex at Army of Dude knew Shay and has posted a nice tribute to him titled, Through Amber Lenses, A Light.
