An extra special to the family of my fellow “DINFOS-trained killer” Boris Shiloff. I recently found out that he died from a disease. He was the baby of our 40th Public Affairs Detachment, 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagles.”
He took that picture shown of me in uniform, nearly 7,000 miles away from home. My mom had made us spaghetti the night before we deployed and drove us to the Nashville airport to join our unit downrange.
When we got back, we took him to Chuck-E-Cheese for his birthday outside Ft. Campbell, KY, on Wilma Rudolph Blvd in Clarksville, TN.
He was such a good kid. In my head, he’ll always be 19.
