The Aircraft Paul got killed in was the one I had crewed for nearly a year. 085
I had gone back to the world, and didn't even find out about it for a long time, many months, and it hurt like hell. The pilots were friends of mine,Paul was a person I knew. We had been through allot togther. Had I been there, maybe they wouldn't have fallen into the trap. It still bothers me and probably will forever.
Incident Report:
They were flying lowel level checking out some papa-son in a free fire zone. The papa-son was used as bait to lure the gunship into a crossfire from the nearby tree line. The entire crew of 4 was lost.
With the Attached Picture, It is my way of adding a face to this wall. This wall is made up of many faces, and shattered dreams. These are not just etchings on the granite, they all have faces, and families, that mean much to many people. Paul will stand guard on this wall until we join him.
