"Another warrior has passed. A fighter. A father. A grandfather. A mentor. A friend. Here's to all the good times we had. Nights when all we did was drive around and listen to country gold Saturday night. To all those late nights at the race track proving everyone wrong. You taught me so much and impacted my life in so many ways. You were the reason I wanted to serve this great nation. It was an honor to stand on the same yellow footprints as you once did. I will miss you and love you forever. You have finally fought your last fight. Now you can rest. Semper Fi." Brett Baker
