25th. Aviation
Battalion
This page is in honor of the many
sacrifices the men of the Diamondheads and Little Bears made. Many made
the ultimate sacrifice. For those this page is my way of saying thank
you, for a job well done. For everyone else and the many heroic deeds
they did, this is my way of giving to those who gave so much for me.
Maybe it will serve as a gathering place for remembrances that in some
way will help the healing process.
