"Sully" to his friends and brothers in arms; Sully was a great guy. Scout Sniper, loving husband, and new father. I was with Sully the day he died. We were smoking a cigarette near his hooch and discussing his newborn son. He had found out the night before that he was a father now. I had to catch a convoy to one of our outlying patrol bases to fix some comm gear and would be back in a few hours. The last thing we said to each other was, "See you at chow tonight, I hear we're having steak." Shortly after the convoy departed, the mortars fell. My only hope is that he felt no pain. Every July 23rd since that day, I have a steak dinner and a beer with Sully. He is now on his final duty assignment, providing overwatch from the gates of Heaven.
