Thank you MCpl Xaysy for training our squad and passing on your teachings to us. Your will to push us to become the best was the best experience of my life. I will never forget how you always volunteered our squad for the most difficult of assignments. I truely appreciate everything you've passed on to all of us under your command. I wish I could have followed your footsteps ... but you know why I didn't.

One of my fondest memories of Johnny (which i always tell people of) is when we were all at Mel's Diner after Loose Change Louie's and Johnny got so irritated with the song "sweet caroline" that he ripped the juke box's plug out of the wall. then the guy who played the song came to complain about his wasted quarter johnny stood up and said to him "Fight for your quarter back buddy." needless to say the man went to sit back down and waited for his meal like a good boy. Ever since, everytime i hear that song i think of the forks and knives clanging on the tables and then the sudden interruption in the song. I'll miss his great big rib breaking bear hugs. He was, and still is, the greatest man i've ever known and his beloved memory will stay alive in our hearts for now and forever. *Forever in our hearts, **Miss you dearly, Love you more.
