Yesterday my Company took its first KIA.  SPC Alex Gonzalez 22 from Texas.  He was killed by a RPG and from what I understand it was pretty gruesome.  His squad leader also got pretty banged up and almost lost his left leg.  These guys were in my old platoon before I got promoted to Sgt.  When I saw them yesterday it took everything I had to choke back the tears.  I am not here to get any bullshtein sympathy either, I just want to give some names to the numbers.

Today we had Gonzo's memorial, it was probably the saddest thing that I have ever been a part of.  It was an outstanding tribute to a soldier.  I have never witnessed so many grown men cry or cried that much myself.  It was the first time I ever heard taps played for someone I really knew, I will never forget it.  There was a lot of people there to honor that young man, even the Iraqi PM.  I hope I never have to go to one of those again. RIP Gonzo.
