On September 11th our friend, Scott Shimp was in a fatal helicopter accident. There helicopter hit wires during a foggy flight and left 3 soldiers dead. Clay was contacted immediately and spent the rest of the week contacting people they worked with. Clay and Scott were platoon leaders at Fort Carson. They were roommates during their first tour to Iraq. We have found memories of Scott and he will always be remembered as a great friend and a proud soldier. His memorial service was yesterday at Fort Campbell Kentucky were he was stationed. We drove up Sunday evening and returned Monday evening. Please say a prayer for peace for his parents, brother and sister.

I have tears in my eyes. Ryan knew him during flight school and we are sad over here. I was wondering if I could grab your picture and put it on my site as well. That was beautiful Nadia and we are saying our prayers. Thank you.
So sad...
P.S. when that song came out... I immediately took to it because I knew Will was leaving soon. Love that song!
I thought about you and Clay all day yesterday. Thank you for sharing Scott's story with us. His family is in my prayers.
