68 KO was always a straight shooter




In memory of 68KO and his untimely death i would like to offer his family my deepest sympathies.


High Flight by: John Gillespie Magee, Jr.


Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of the earth
   And danced the skies on laughter-silvered
  wings

Sunward I;ve climbed, and joined the tumb-
 bling mirth
 Of sun-split clouds-- and done a hundred
  things

You have not dreamed of-- wheeled and
   soared and swung
   High in the sunlit silence.Hovering there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
   My eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
   I've topped the windswept heights with
   easy grace

Where never, or even eagle flew.

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of
    God.



May he rest in peace

I couldnt believe when i logged in tonight that 68KO had passed, As ive flow with him and many other 68ths over the last year under my old name outbreak when i was with the 708th and had flow with him some more in knight missions under my new name h0tsht4u. It was a real shocker to hear of his passing at such a young age, I wish the 68th LL and his Family my depest Condolences on your loss of a Family member and the communitys loss of a great idol. 68KO will be GREATLY Missed!
