I met Ed Kolka when we joined the military together and only knew him for about 3 months. We became good friends in that short period of time but after our Basic Training was over we went different ways. You can't remember everybody you meet in your military tour but Ed was never forgotten even though our friendship was brief. His kind and witty personality was one you don't forget as I'm sure every friend he made in and out of the military will remember him forever. He gave his best so we could have our freedom and for that I am very grateful.

Ed Kolka, do you know,
Ed, do you know,
Do you know, Ed,
Memories of a man,
Ed, do you feel the sadness of others
Ed, do you know,
A Soldier's hand I would never hold,
But Ed, please know,
