FOB Paliwoda, formerly known as FOB Eagle, was renamed in memory of Capt. Eric Paliwoda, who died 02 January 2004 when an enemy mortar round scored a direct hit on his room. He was 28.
The Military has a history of naming things aftre the Fallen. When I left FOB Paliwoda there were 2 more monuments to men I served with.....SPC Daclan and SFC Villanueva.
Rants on things going on in the world today as well as some personal crap that bugs me here and there.
