SPC Ryan Partin Jr. was taken from us recently. For all military we lost a Brother and for those who had the privaledge to serve alongside him in combat we lost true Family. Ryan served  as gunner for 1 Platoon "Spartans" of the 1-28 Infantry Regiment in the most kinetic environment in Afghanistan near the Pakistan border. He excelled as a leader and was the perfect Infantryman; strong, courageous and competent. He always lifted us up with that large smile and positive attitude when we were down and calmed us with his composure during a firefight. As  men we should strive to be more like him. Ryan's spirit will live on with us forever. Please donate to support his memorial service.
