This Gallery Is Dedicated To Our Lost Brothers'

CCT Photo Gallery 24

This gallery will continue to grow as long as there is "The War On Terrorism".  I will continue to post pictures of our guys in harms way as I get them.  Hopefully this war and this gallery will be short, but I sincerely doubt it.  The death of John Chapman has already made this war last an eternity.  Chappy was killed in action, Afghanistan, while participating in the rescue of an Amerian soldier.  You may read this story by clicking on the button below.  Chappy was assigned with the 24th STS, "The Hill", thus Gallery 24.  The following words were written by Coke Braxton. 

There are men who have a determination of spirit that transcends the aspirations of most. These men answer a call, which comes deep from within the essence of their own convictions.

They share a kindred amongst themselves and though never spoken, its' strength exceeds the power of any outside ideals forced upon it.

The sacrifices made from their ranks are great, and each loss falls hard among those who remain. Yet they continue, knowing each time they step into the sun, the rays that penetrate their souls are the voices of their comrades leading them on to the next adventure.
