This is so good, what a tribute to this man we know and love. Waldo won't stay down, but this is crushing.

I met Waldo at the GTE49, I wasn't on the same platoon as him, but he stood out, his enthusiasm and care for others. That cave was the most awesome part of the ruck, and I'm so glad for men like Waldo who organized that!

Thank you for this impressive tribute to my brother, Tim. I agree with you on everything you said. Not only is he all that with the F3 family, but he is also that with his own family. He bends over backwards to help our parents, as he does with his own children. I love him to the moon and back! He has helped me numerous times in my struggle with paralysis. Yes, but I am a quadriplegic. I was injured 17 years ago in a car accident. As they taught me in Craig Hospital, an extraordinary rehabilitation hospital, "every injury is different." But they also taught me to fight for my independence and be resilient, something I am going to beat into his head! Although he won't be able to complete in those endurance races like he used to, I'm betting he will be doing lots of chin-ups and climbing a rope! Maybe he will take up playing basketball or archery. Whatever is on his new bucket list, you know he'll be going at it full tilt! Thank you for being part of his family. I know that he will need you through his years of recovery.
