I just read of Byron's passing in the 31st Infantry Regiment newsletter. Byron was the forward observer for Delta Company, 6/31st, 9th Infantry Division right before I replaced him. He was a great guy and helped to break me in. My heartfelt condolences to his family. Rest in peace brother. John Bayer The last "Ninerdelta"

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in Isaiah 26:19 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
