A memory, of a good guy
He and I, came in-country, at the same time. (I might have, been, a couple of days, earlier) He was only with the platoon for a couple of weeks when it happened. He and the rest of his squad, were leaving the compound for an ambush. I don't think he even knew what happened it was so quick. When I saw that there were no entries for him here (thewall-usa.com) it seemed that he should have something said about him. I remember him as almost always cheerful and good-natured. We didn't have time to become really good friends but I really think we would have been. I'm sure, his family remembers him as he was; a good guy. Sorry Covey. Sorry man. God keep you.
