Ken, yesterday your brothers of the 129th AHC remembered you as a brother and as a friend. It was your birthday, and we hope that you and the guys with you all enjoyed "your" day. Perhaps a little "33" was passed around, and a toast to those of us left behind was made. We remember and miss you, and all of the 129th AHC gone before us. Happy Birthday Ken.
