Dustin was an amazing person and someone that I will never forget as long as I live. I wish more than anything I could have one last chance to see him. I love you Dustin and I'll never forget you!
I love you Dustin, I still miss you. Your the rarist kind of person, someone that if is friend to everyone. Your more of a hero than I could ever be. I really miss you.
It's been 2 and a half years since you died and your platoon still misses you brother. It was hard to stay positive after you left, but there are only happy memories of smoking hookahs and having a kickass time with you in a a hellhole like Iraq. Rest in Peace Tucker.
I miss you buddy. Still think of you often. It's been over 12 years since you passed and I've yet to meet anyone quite like you. Always with love.
