Among Heroes, page 21
Finally, my never-ending thanks to Mike Bearden, Dave Scott, Matt Axelson, John Zinn, Chris Campbell, Heath Robinson, JT Tumilson, Glen Doherty, Chris Kyle, and the many other brothers not written about here who likewise laid down your lives so that the rest of us might sleep more peacefully in our beds at night. You are sorely missed, but never forgotten.
To borrow that once again from the late, great Hunter S. Thompson: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn-out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a ride!’”
When I skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke myself, I look forward to seeing all your smiling faces.
See you all on the other side, gents.
