My deepest condolences to the family of Sgt. Fletcher. I served with Sgt. Fletcher, for a short time, in FIDO. He was a good man and a good NCO. He cared about his soldiers and the soldiers around him. The thoughts and prayers of myself and my family are with the family of Sgt. Fletcher. He will be missed.
My condolences to the Fletcher family. He was a great NCO, among the best. I remember our nights in Afganistan sitting out late, him telling the younger enlisted about past deployments. He was always taking care of everyone else. He had a way talking to us to ease whatever difficulties there were. We will see you at the gates of Valhalla brother rest easy.
May the family be uplifted by faith and friends.
RIP Don.
Dear Fletcher families, I hold you dear to my heart and pray for comfort for each of you.
