Entry: I knew Justin through the Air Force. Even though he got out years ago we still kept in conctact, probably twice a month or more. He was proabbly the closet friend i've made through the military. I went to Lousiana to visit him and had a blast while he showed me where he came from. I know he's in a better place but definately will be missed.
