May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace SSGT. Cowley, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

On the remembrance of your 87th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH
