CDRODA396:
That was a great testimonial and told me everything I needed to know about him, despite the fact we had only met peripherally.
An outstanding tribute to a fine NCO. You learned the right lessons, and were able to put them to use. That is what a good TS does with his TL. He helps him lead, and learn.
Well done, MSG.

Many thanks to CDRODA396 for the true and great write up on Steve Maggard. My fortune was to get Steve as my 18F when he moved over to B Company. The lessons were many and Steve always took the time to teach me. I will forever be greatful for the enthusiam he had and for teaching me the true SOF Imperatives.
In addition to CDRODA396's writeup, I would like to add that Steve's other true passion was his loving wife and daughter. My heart goes out to them during this trying times.
Steve - I will always miss you and try to approach life with the same zeal and passion that you did.
As always - Blue Skies...
