He touched the wire and was electrocuted. He would have fallen to his death but one of his friends grabbed him by the ankles and caught him. They held him until help could arrive to lower him down.

He was severely burned. It was a miracle he didn’t die.

He and his brother both joined the army. Both served our country well with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

They were tough dudes that you didn’t want to cross. They are some of the best, most loyal men you could ever meet though. Guys you wanted on your side.

They were like brothers to us. Still are.
