Gone,but not forgotten.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn_iz...eature=related God Bless,Rest in Peace Warrior.....:( He was just a simple soldier and his ranks are growing thin But his presence should remind us; we may need his like again, For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start. If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise, Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.......:( Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say: OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SOLDIER DIED TODAY. (author unknown) The passing of our soldiers often go unnoticed and unsung by most of the world, remembered only by family and friends. Wish it were not so. May he RIP, his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.........:( I realize it's a Canadian song,however I believe most appropriate for this occasion... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrkgV5bl7kQ Big Teddy |
Services
The California memorial for Kenny will be on Friday, Jan. 6 at 2pm at St. Cross Episcopal Church, 1818 Monterey Bl., Hermosa Beach 90254.
There will also be a military funeral at Ft. Bragg sometime in February. His son Steve is coordinating those details with the army - Kenny touched many lives and it will be a significant event, hence the long lead time. |

Hell of a man
Kenny was my first SGM, in SF. How bout a Q grad getting assigned to a forward deployed unit right out of the box. The BN CSM and the then BC, (now a close friend) both livid with the fact that I had been assigned with out paying dues states side.
Kenny, took me in, gave me direction, and showed me the SPECIAL way. I owe my entire Army experience to the likes of Kenny Mac and several other great SGM's of the time. |
Miss ya KennyMac!
Can't express my feelings about the loss of this giant of a man.
A SF soldier's soldier if ever there was one........ My first meeting with him, I was a young SGT waiting to get introduced to his Company in Panama. As I waited for him to show up, I noticed that unlike most SGMs, he had only one small snapshot on his "Love Me" wall. It showed a bright eyed, hard looking man surrounded by others of his cut of cloth. They were all wearing goggles and night gear. When SGM Mac entered his office and noticed me looking at the photo, all he said was "That was us training for Son Tay". That's the kind of SF Trooper he was, but you guys all know that. It was an honor to walk the same ground as you SGM. Thanks for everything and then some! I hope to buy you a beer in Valhalla someday............. |
