""Sandrino’s family described him as man of great faith with a strong heart and love for his family and country who knew since his teenage years that he wanted to serve and protect.""

My prayers for your family and may you Rest in Peace Sgt. Plutino.

The way I became a Ranger and have earned the small amount of success I have had in life has been mostly due to one quality - determination. Lefty.

Rest easy Sandy, you are missed brother



"They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Laurence Binyon

I'm pretty sure I spoke to this young man at the 1/75 Memorial earlier this year. Just don't even know what to say, really I don't. Prayers for his family and those still in the field.
