Today we wrap our wings around the family of SPC David "Alex" Knapp.
Alex
suffered a fatal heart attack on October 2, 2010 doing one of the things he loved most, competing in a game of sled hockey.
We remember Alex as a fighter during his stay at Landstuhl after being injured in March of 2008. And we remember him as the embodiment of courage and optimism when he later visited the hospital while in Germany attending his unit's homecoming.
Our deepest sympathies go out to his parents Jeannette and Eric, his brothers Ryan and Michael, and his fellow Soldiers.
Alex touched our lives and will live on in our hearts.
"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom." - Abraham Lincoln
