He was assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, Schoefield Barracks, Hawaii.</i> When we gathered for the Memorial Day service in town, I think it's safe to say that we were all thinking about Casey, as well as our other fallen soldiers. Casey's funeral was on Monday. Most of our graduating class came out to say goodbye. We weren't close... ...but I think I speak for many of my friends when I say that I miss him...I miss knowing he's around, doing something, making a difference somewhere. He was an honorable young man.
