    12 years ago I learned the true meaning of Memorial Day. I went to school with this gentleman.

    We met in 5th grade at a citywide pinewood derby in cub scouts. Our dad’s were arguing about a rules technicality. Mike got first out of about 500, I took second. We just stood there discussing how stupid it was to argue about it. First or second, didn’t matter.

    This whole week is always tough for me. It is getting easier as the years pass.

    LT Tyler Hall Brown. Born 2 days after me. We went to school together all the way through elementary / middle / high school and even college at Georgia Tech. KIA 9/14/04 in Iraq by sniper fire. Bronze Star for his actions - called out the sniper's location to his team on the radio while he was bleeding out from his femoral artery.

    RIP my friend.
