I immediately knew what had to have happened.  Travis was killed a day and a half ago fighting in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM, he was in a HMMWV that was hit by an IED.  He is survived by his wife and three children.  I confirmed the news via a friend who was close to the scene.      Travis and I were stationed in Friedberg, Germany together, he was S-3 (Operations Plans) and I was the Air Liaison Officer for the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division.  Travis had just left Special Forces, and had participated in Operation ANACONDA in Afghanistan in 2002.  When I found that out, I mentioned a couple of my buddies had flown missions there; he told me that if I pointed them out to him, they’d never buy drinks as long as he was around.      Travis and I went through several pre-deployment exercises together, including at least one at Hohenfels and one at Grafenwoehr.  After talking with him for awhile, we learned that we grew up about two miles away from one another, so there we were in the middle of the training areas in Germany, 5,000 miles from St Louis, talking about our adjoining school districts’ rivalries.  He moved over from the S-3 shop before the Hohenfels rotation to take over S-5 (Civil Affairs) from my other buddy Paul M.  He stuck with that job downrange.  I’ll include some links to various articles about him at the end of the post.     I don’t meet very many people who impress me very much anymore.  Travis was one of those few.      Shortly before the brigade departed for Iraq, Travis and I spoke to one another for awhile.  The thing I’ll remember most is when he explained that having been special forces, he could ‘Stare down’ almost any other Army officer, especially in an armored unit.  He apparently was making it a point to size up everyone else around him when he arrived in Friedberg.  He wouldn’t tell everyone what he’d been doing before arriving in Germany, he just liked to keep it his own private secret that he had been special forces, while all the other folks around him were ordinary "Ground-pounders."  He said he remembered introducing himself to my deputy "Tank" and me, and asking what we did.  He said his ego quickly deflated when he found out Tank and I were fighter pilots!      Travis may not have been a fighter pilot, but he was a warrior of another sort.  He may not have had the eyes of a hawk and the reflexes of a cat.  But like a fighter pilot, he had the moxie to look for a career path that would intentionally put him into harms’ way a long way from home with only a handful of his buddies to fight their way in and fight their way out, the guts to do it, and the patriotism to love doing it.      Rest well, brothers!

The United States Marine Corps and the Armed Forces are full of professionals, outstanding Warriors, and filled with the diversity of America.

A Warrior is treated as a Warrior and based on their performance in their profession. MAJ McClung, CPT Patriquin and SPC Pomante are truly some of the finest Americans ever offered on the field of battle. We would do well to live our lives to be worthy of their sacrifice. And the Iraqi people owe their families' a huge debt, which they can never repay. And we will never ask them to do so either. But it is a Debt of Honor owed, nonetheless.
