I would like to give my prayers to the Church family. I served with Theodore for 2 1/2 year and went to combat along side him while stationed with Delta Troop 10th Cavalry Reg in Fort Benning. There is nothing I can say that would make this better, just know that you are in my thoughts. He was a great man. SSG Kirk HolcombeCamp Rustamyiah, Iraq
