Robert was a good friend of mine, in fact you could call him my best friend even though we didnt see to much of each other when I moved and he joined the reserves. He was very excited about joining the Army and was in good spirits last time I saw him in late 05 before he shipped out. I wasnt to worried as he was an MP, but when the news came it hit me like a load of bricks. He was a great guy and I will never forget him.
