A sad note from a friend

I was stationed with these young men's father in Korea.  He is very sad, but proud of his sons.

Subject: Moment of note in the AOR


Had to share one of the most poignant moments of my 19-year career.
Today one of our young A1C U-2 crew chiefs learned his brother, an Army
E-4, was "killed in action" in Afghanistan yesterday.  The AMU rallied,
rapidly did some beautiful chalk nose art on a jet flying an OEF combat
mission today and put his brother's unit logo on the tail.  He launched
it before heading home to his family tonight.  Folks from across
maintenance and ops came out to pay their respect and launch the
mission.  A1C Zwilling is a strong man and I'm proud to serve with him.

My chops were not as fast...[but] I just leaned more on what was in my mind than what was in my chops.  I learned a long time ago that one note can go a long way if it's the right one, and it will probably whip the guy with twenty notes.
