With deep sorrow, I share the passing of my brother-in-arms, Gerald Lee Holmes. We served together in the Army and deployed to Iraq in 2008–2009, facing the challenges of war side by side. Gerald was more than a soldier—he was family. His strength, loyalty, and unwavering heart left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.
The world feels a little emptier without him, but his memory will live on in the stories we share and the bonds we forged. Rest easy, brother. You are never forgotten.
