Samir, the Arabic version of Chris Farley. I wish you could have met him.

I hear the sound of laughter coming from somewhere over the rainbow......:)

The last time I talked to Samir was on my cell phone the night before he was killed by the bastards. I was outside my hooch with the other characters on NCO Alley.

I asked Samir how what he was doing. He said he was relaxing at home, chilling with his family.

I then passed the phone around so he could talk to the other guys but before I got the phone back to say good night to my friend, the signal was lost.

The next day, he was killed.

He truly had become a friend not only to me but to everyone in our unit.

I miss him.
