I was out on that final mission with COL Berrettini in the wadi known as four corners. He made coffee for us and it was cold as hell he came by our possition repetedly to check if we were o.k. We talked about fly fishing for hours out in the dark on that mission. He was the nicest damn officer i ever met he volunteered to out of wire with us repeatedly because he cared out the kids and he had the knowledge to help. He may have been the only person these kids ever got treated by he did it with a smile on his face. He also was not scared to get on the gun either. He joked on that mission that he is the highest paid driver in the army. Awesome guy and soldier my heart goes out to him and his family. Hope they know of the good he did over there he made a difference in the world.

Your sacrifice will remain in our hearts for a lifetime,
with intense gratitude. May God bless you and your family.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heros never dies.
