Major O- Thank you for being the mentor everyone went to for advice. Thank you for showing me that being a good leader didn't mean being a zero defect officer. Thank you for letting me fall on my face, even though it made you look bad. Thank you for always being there to pick me up and help me see a better way. Thank you for being the person my sister described as "my brother's hero." Thank you for teaching me more in 15 minutes in Bradley Barracks than I ever learned during hours in Bartlett Hall. Thank you for letting me see what being an awesome father and husband looked like. Thank you for being the TAC everyone wanted. Thank you for showing me that doing things the right way is contagious. Thank you for your door always being open, for countless hours of guidance and friendship, for helping me become the officer I am today. I thank God for the time I had with Major O, the best tactical officer, mentor, and friend I could have hoped for. I miss you, Sir. Respectfully, J (Kohowski) Brady CO E2, '99 Go Dogs!! |
