Couldn't make it work last month when I was down in Boston, but this past Sunday was free so I got a dawn-patrol start and took the bike on a long ride to visit HN's resting place. The NHSVC in Boscawen was beautiful, busting into spring bloom; it's easy to picture the men and women who rest there stretching out the kinks from a long, tight winter.
His plaque on the columbarium is easy to find, and the whole setup invites wandering visitation.
Whether you knew him as Weaponsman, or HN, or teammate, it's been a year without his distinctive voice.
RIP.
