HOOAH

Thank you, Captain Lance Sijan, for your service and your sacrifice for our country, for our freedoms. May your sacrifice be remembered forever by our grateful nation. Rest in heavenly peace Brave Airman.

Lance was a childhood friend of my older brother and was at our house frequently. They were in Boy Scouts together. Lance was always so sweet to me, just a giggly little girl. I will always remember his great smile and his eyes, one blue, one brown. My sister ended up naming my nephew, Lance because even as a youth, he had a big impact on people. A great personality, kind and unpretentious. Such a loss.

I never got to meet Lance but have had a close friendship with his sister, mom and dad. An incredible man from an incredible family. He was not just a warrior but a scholar, artist, athlete and devoted son and brother. Good speed Lance, Syl and Jane.
