Spc Erin Mclyman,
It was wonderful having the pleasure to have met and served with you. From the times we hung out on Rear D ,mowing the lawns, standing around any chance we could to talk bout what we were gona do on the weekend, to time in the hot desert of Iraq. We had some great conversations and will always miss your big smile and the greeting you always gave me ” Hey Man!” I will carry our last converstion in my heart always. I will always be greatful of the memories we shared and know my wife will be paying the respect to you on my behalf since i wont be able to be there for you. Your our angel watching over us now and I couldn’t be more happy to know it you…We love you Red and will miss you dearly. In my heart you will always live on. PFC Prieto

Erin: I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing you personally, but you share the same name as my daughter. As a Vietnam veteran and former Marine, I salute you for your service. Watch over your fellow soldiers and always know you will be missed.
