Last week I heard the sad news that CSM Kevin J. Griffin had been KIA. It was hard for me to hear. CSM Griffin was larger than life. He was the kind of soldier they emulate in the movies, full of bravado, tough, fair and always quick with a smile. He embraced his service and loved his job. I flew with him a few times on our way to different COP's and always felt like he was taking the bull by the horns, wrastleing it and putting it down. I loved his energy.
He was a great leader and he will be missed by all.
