It is another thing entirely to ask where we get 200 of them, as a group. In one place. At the same time. "100 percent". It is enough to ask “Where do we find such men”.

Maloney was the CO of C company 1-5. My apologies. All the talk of 2-5 had my numbers skewed. Correction: Capt. Maloney was the CO of C company 1-5. My apologies.

John W Maloney, my best friend's brother, was the CO of Charlie 2-5. He was killed June 16, 2005 in Ar Ramadi (during their previous deployment) when the humvee he was in ran over an IED. He was the oldest of three brother marines. A great loss to our country and humanity as a whole, he was the perfect model of a great American. Everything about him was what every man should aspire to. Sadly, I have been friends with his brother since I was a tiger cub but, I never met him as an adult. I truly feel I missed the opportunity to know one of the greatest Americans of my generation. I can't tell you enough about how outstanding he really was. I urge each of you to at least google him as he was the embodiment of excellence in every aspect of his life. Capt. John W Maloney, my best friend’s brother, was the CO of Charlie 2-5.
