John-you may not know this but even as quirky and goofy you were; you were my motivation when I was a brand new cadet in the University of Hawaii Army ROTC program. I saw your airborne wings, air assault badge, and scuba badge; and thought to myself: man I want to be like this guy. I knew from the point I was 18 that I wanted to go to ranger school and be an infantry officer. As I have conducted missions for a year in Iraq as a platoon leader and As I conduct missions with my company here in Afghanistan. I think of you and your family everyday. Your memory makes me remember to take care of my men and to always ensure my junior leaders have everything they absolutely need for them to accomplish the mission. Your memory lives on brother! My thoughts and prayers go out to Blake Blake Brostrom Mary Jo Brostrom the Colonel, (and although I never met them: Lindsey Spargur and your son! Ikaika Imua! Take care and Aloha!
