• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Welcome home and til’ Valhalla.

I participated in quite a few transfer ceremonies at Al Udeid. Watching Airmen, Soldiers, and Marines lose it inside the C17 as they paid their respects to our fallen comrades.

There is nothing compared to a flag draped coffin of a warrior. As a commander it haunts you with the question of “what if’s”.

My hearts goes out to the families of the fallen as their world has rapidly changed for the worse and will need our prayers to get them through this awful, destructive time.
