Condolence

"SSG Hansen, aka "Gunny" was a great guy who always either had a story to tell or something funny to say. I was able to fight alongside him on many occasions and even more memorable, was able to play wiffle ball with him on a daily basis before he was killed. We were also able to share a great day together in the Spring of 2009 when both of our wives had our kids on the same day. Great man, a great Soldier, great Leader and a great Friend. I miss ya brother."  1LT James Boston
