    Moments like this, are not forgotten, EVER! I have had two moments like this. I stopped and surprised a female who I worked with and deployed with while I was in Germany. It had been 22 years since we had seen each other. A few months after that, I learned that one of the mechanics from that unit in Germany, was having surgery in Omaha. I was working out there, so I stopped and visited him and his wife one evening. They were both moments that meant a lot to me and I hope to them.

    I'm one of those kinds of people that wanted to forget as much as I could about my time in the war and regrettably lost contact with the guys I was closest to after I got out. It was hard to make the effort to reconnect especially after I had a difficult time trying to re adjust to being a civilian. Years later, one of those guys who happened to still be serving, reached out to me on social media and we spoke for a bit and told me this: "we spilled blood in the same mud so we're brothers, no one can take that away"... later that year he was KIA in, farah province, Afghnistan. If that wasn't enough to break me, than a couple years after that, another buddy reached out and told me another close friend of ours took his own life on the 4th of July. So if there's any lesson to this it's: don't always be the one expecting folks to call you. Try and be the one to reach out to others.
