It's about BOTH. We BBQ and laugh and play and enjoy life in America thanks to these fallen heros.
But the first thing I'll do tomorrow is make my way to the LSU Parade Ground to pay my respects to fallen friend, rugby teammate, and American Hero.

He moved to Louisiana, where he received his master's degree in civil engineering/environmental science from Louisiana State University. He played rugby, which became his favorite sport at that time. He then worked at All South Engineering Consultants, which involved managing the reconstruction of levies and sewer systems in Louisiana. He fulfilled a long desire to serve his country when he joined the Army and was a combat engineer.
