My name is Sgt. James Close. i served with Doug for the past four years. i was there the day he showed up to the company. from the first time i met him i could tell he had a strong spirit and he would be a good friend to everyone. i saw him grow as a soldier but more important i saw him toutch the lives of all his friends. he made everyone in the company laugh at some point. weather it was him playing his guitar or knitting. not a single person could hold back thier tears when we heard the news. we were all there outside the hospital in a group praying and trying to console each other. looking back it was a testimony to how great of a man doug was. i had seen others fall before but never had i seen so many people so devistated over one. we all loved doug and i'll will always remember him until the day i die. not a day goes by i don't think about him.
