COB Speicher
I was stationed at Contingency Operations Base Speicher 2006-2007 for 15 months and was proud to know the story of the base's name. I am even more honored and proud that the man will be properly laid to rest. What is very compelling to me, is that no matter where you are in the world, whom ever you are in the world, if you are a good person with a heart and hand tied to your god, you try and do the right thing. I am moved that the citizens of this desert country, laid our man to rest as best they could with the tools they had. Officers, Soldiers, Family and Friends, rest assured this man was not alone on his spiritual journey home when many, who didn't even know this man, laid him to rest. Only God knows what happened that day. May this closure grant many and his family peace.
