A Melancholy Friday

Bad news received today via Facebook. My Stuttgart roommate posted the death of a sergeant that I served with while in the 82d Airborne Division.
This man decided that has pain had to be squashed by taking his own life. I was broken a bit this morning when I read the news. SGM Roldan posted the viewing and internment particulars happening later this month.
As soon as I heard, I attempted to think of ways that I could possibly travel to North Carolina. Unfortunately, I may have limited resources keeping me from traveling by car.
I'll continue thinking about the trip and try to crunch the numbers to see if I can see this full military ceremony.
