Title: Worse kind of anniversary
Post by: TOMCAT21 on August 09, 2010, 03:50:49 PM: Sadly for me, 5 years ago today , I lost someone very close to me and a very big influence on me. SPC John Kulick was killed in a complex attack outside FOB Summerall in Bayji, Iraq. His Bradley fighting vehicle struck an IED and then received multiple RPG's. He died of his wounds. John was a career fire-fighter back in Pennsylvania. He was also the deputy chief in the volunteer fire department I ran with. He was my mentor there. After 9-11, John joined the PA National Guard and deployed with HHC 1/111th Inf in 2005. John was an awesome guy, he had a big heart and an overwhelming desire to help people. He left behind, a wife and daughter and alot of people who cared for him and those he saved as a fire-fighter/paramedic. He may be gone but he is not forgotten. :salute

I could name each one and the date they passed by heart, but I keep them marked on a special calender. On each date, myself and my fallen brother(s) have a drink. Some may find that unhealthy, but it's my way of coping and it helps. To me they are not statistics. They are people that changed my life forever and that I vow to never forget.
