23 May 2005

When I was the platoon leader of the Weapons Platoon of Bravo Company 3/22 Infantry PSG Castro was assigned as my Platoon Sergeant. We also became friends. Later we were both assigned to different line platoons. One of the saddest days of my life was helping to load his body on the medevac chopper.

Rest In Peace, Brother.
