I always remember you Rocky

We shared a childhood of memories in our neighborhood. We joined the Army together along with Mike Torres & Gary Sharman. You & Mike made the ultimate sacrifice. You are missed.
I remember while stationed in Korea we exchanged letters. The last letter you sent me said you were concerned as you were a few clicks from Cambodia. I never heard from you again and got word shortly after that you gave the ultimate for this country. It saddened me then and now.
We had great times and I wish you could have lived an adult life after your service so we could have shared our experiences.
You are an American hero I am proud to have known.

honoring you...

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

Thank You

Dear Sgt Rocky Hirokawa, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Today is the Army's birthday - happy birthday. Today is Flag Day. There is no better way to respect the flag than to honor you all. Watch over the USA, it still needs your strength. Rest in peace with the angels.
