Dedication: This episode of the 501stCast is dedicated to the memories of Luis Draco (BH-5822) of Star Garrison and Jeremy Gurule (TB-1783) of Mountain Garrison.
Luis was working as a civilian contractor in Iraq when he was killed by a mortar, leaving behind a daughter and fiancee. Jeremy suffered from a heart condition, but trooped with the Dewback Ridge Squad since 2006. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends of these Eternal Legionnaires.
