"Elvis and Family, I rode my motor cycle by the Vets Cemetery the other day and stopped by and Saluted you and shed a few tears. Then, I stumbled across this web site just today and felt it appropriate to leave a note. Its almost been 4 years. I remember that day........times best forgotten.....but you my friend will never be!! Thank-you for the great conversations during breakfast in Iraq about our families and especially our children. You are a big man with an even BIGGER heart. I will always remember you and your family is in my prayers" ~  Steve  Overby, Killeen, Texas

"The world will never be the same without SSG Bourdon. Bourdon used to always get yelled at by the 1SG for the stupid things that we would do, but he never got mad at us, no matter what we did. I will ALWAYS miss him." ~  Steve Campbell, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
