Remember the words Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell wrote about fallen comrades before he himself died in action: "If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go …. Take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."
