 Remembrance Profiles -  3 Soldiers Remembered

Reflections on CSM Elliston's US Army Service
 
 Reflections On My Service
 
FROM YOUR ENTIRE MILITARY SERVICE, DESCRIBE ANY MEMORIES YOU STILL REFLECT BACK ON TO THIS DAY.
I have two great memories that stand out. First, I was honored while serving in Kosovo by the town people of Vrbovac. They named an establishment after my home state and me. That was one of my proudest moments.

The second memory that stands out, is when I lost my good friend SFC Hurst during "The Surge" in Iraq. I still miss and think about him on a regular basis.
