Honored Staff Sergeant Paul Neff II

Today we honored Staff Sergeant Paul Neff II. He graduated from Fort Mill High School in 1991 and joined the Army soon afterward. Paul served with the 5th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. On November 7, 2003, his Black Hawk helicopter was shot down near Tikrit, Iraq, he was 30 years old,

His family described him as someone who loved being outdoors and loved serving in the Army. He was father to a young son. A former commander remembered Neff as a leader who worked alongside his soldiers, cared about their readiness, and set a standard for teamwork. Paul was a father, a teammate, and leader remembered for working alongside his brothers.
Veterans Day is this week and gives us the chance to thank all who have served. Today, we remember Paul and the family and fellow soldiers who carried on after his loss.

WARMUP: Usual suspects

THE THANG: Partner work carrying heavy things, lifting Cindy, and visiting the bars.
