In 2005, he lost a young female solder from Idaho when their convoy was hit by an IED.

I orchestrated a memorial box to be presented to her family(mother) at the statue dedication service in Idaho. With the combine efforts of several folks, including my brother and the men n women of Beal AFB, a US flag and challenge coin was flown on a U2 sortie, and presented in the case. I hope this helps bring closure for our good friend Bill, who has carried the weight of losing this young soldier for the past 20 years.


This service was a dedication to all the women of Idaho who served in the Armed Forces. The statue was commissioned based on the young soldier that was lost.
