As I look back at the time after 9/11 there are two guys I hold a special place in my heart. They gave their all after 9/11 and no one knows their name. They were the first deaths after 9/11 and are true heroes that no one has ever heard of.

Spc John J. Edmunds, 20, Cheyenne, Wyo., 3rd Bat 75th Ranger Regiment, KIA Pakistan 10/19/2001

Spc Kristofor T. Stonesfer, 28 Missoula. Mont. 3rd Bat 75th Ranger Regiment, KIA Pakistan 10/19/2001 

These were two guys that most do not know but gave their all after 9/11.

Thanks you to you two, Rangers Lead The Way.

I was not a Ranger or Special Forces but had the honor of supporting them after 9/11. 

I will remember on 9/11 and hold them close to my heart on this day and all others.
