Just got back to camp from their ceremony at BAF. Joe was a good TL and an awesome guy to work with. Marty was the epitome of a SF warrior. Didn't know Aaron too well but his fellow MWD handler's had nothing but great things to say of him. Keep their families and ODA 3333 and all of AOB 3330 in your prayers. See you in Valhalla brothers.
