Today would have been your 39th birthday. Instead, we are left with grief because someone decided your life no longer mattered. What cuts deepest is that you spent your entire adulthood fighting for this country’s freedom, only to be failed by the very institutions meant to protect you: the Army, CID, and local law enforcement. Your case remains trapped in bureaucracy, sitting untouched while time passes.
The family had to fight the Army for two years just to acknowledge its responsibility to investigate the death of an active-duty soldier, especially when the perpetrator was most likely another soldier. Even then, the commanding general could not be bothered to meet with the family, choosing instead to send lawyers in his place.
Godspeed.
