In May of 2011, one of my dearest friends deployed to Afghanistan for a year long tour with the the 7th Battalion of the 158th Aviation Regiment of the US Army Reserve.
The day they left, I set a daily alarm on my phone for 11:45PM (my time) which was 7:45 am Afghani time) with the reminder to “Pray for Spencer”
On August 6th, 2011, a CH47D was hit by an RPG
& on that day, my heart was shattered when SPC Spencer C. Duncan and 30 other men were killed in action.
On February 19th, 2012, he would have turned 22 years old.
For his birthday, I got a pocket watch tattoo set to 11:45.
“I REFUSE to let the pain of losing him overshadow the joy of knowing him.” -Spencer’s mother
