Donald Raymond Herrera, US NAVY
“Donald was a close friend of mine during my tour with the Main Battery, 1980-1982. I have fond memories of our time together in the Line Shack and our only WestPac 81-82 together.
Fair winds and following seas shipmate.

He was kind and gentle and loved hard.”

Lt. Col. Dennis “Ox” Oxelgren, USAF
My dear cousin Dennis “Ox” Oxelgren died of natural causes over three years ago. Estranged from his daughter, who is executor, those of us who love him and wish to provide a fitting memorial do not know where his cremains are located. We don’t have access to his uniforms, medals or citations. So this is my attempt to honor Dennis.
Lieutenant Colonel Oxelgren retired from the Air Force after twenty years of service. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross twice and a Silver Star for gallantry in action during two tours in Viet Nam. He trained pilots all over the world who consider him their brother. Rest in peace Dennis, you are loved and remembered. Your “grunt” cousin, Captain MJ

Mark Weber, USARMY
Mark Weber was a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army from Rosemount who wrote a book for his three sons as he was battling cancer.
A was a rising star in the Army, Mark was tapped by the top commander in Afghanistan to join the effort to turn around the war there in 2010, after Gen. Stanley McCrystal was relieved of command.
"Gen. Patreus, the day McCrystal got fired, asked me to be part of his team. And I mean, that's what a soldier lives for. To be brought into the big game, to be brought to the majors and say, hey, do you want to be on the team? You know, heck yes," he told MPR in a recent interview. "And then two weeks later, not only do you have cancer, but it is bad."
