This will be a very big imagination that you are furnishing and you hand it away for free. I savour seeing websites that begin to see the value of furnishing a prime resource for free. I truly enjoyed reading your Wiley Post. Thanks!

Phil was my squad leader while we were at Kilo Co. 3/2 together 1995 to 1996.. He was a good man and a fantastic Marine. We had some good times together and lot’s of memories.. Shocked and made me sad when I found out he was KIA..

I knew Phil while living in Rota, SP and had kept in touch with him on and off over the years, keeping tabs on the 22 year old boy as he became a man of substance. To me, Phil stood for the love of family, his men and his country; and never wavered in his beliefs. I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a good, compassionate and honorable man and my heart breaks for the family he left behind.

Phil and I served together at MCSF Co. Rota way back when. I recently heard of his untimely passing. We were young Marines back then and we had more fun than should have been allowed. Phil was a loyal Marine and friend and my life was made better by knowing Phil. God Bless him and his family.

i just got out of the marine corps November 30th. 2008 Capt. Dykeman was my commanding officer in Fox company. i had already been with Fox for two years when he came to us. i miss him. he was the type of leader who didnt care what people thought about him when he would come around and ask us what is going on and what he could do for us. he always put us his marines fist and then himself second. he was a great marine and a awesome commanding officer. he will never be forgotten.
