God's speed Sgt Diaz. http://www.dvidshub.net/news/78261/elit ... pcweHKtgvk
After the chaplain’s remarks, the audience came to attention as the first sergeant called roll. When he got to Diaz’s name, he called it three times. Silence held briefly before “Taps” echoed from a lone bugler. The assembled service members filed up to the boots, rifle and dog tag memorial display to pay their final respects. The last thing attendees saw as they filed out of the chapel was an open box of cigars.
“Just days before he passed, Chris handed me a cigar with his trademark smile and invited me to join him,” said Earnest. “I will never forget the special time we shared together that night, and I remember he selected a fine cigar from his stash. When I think about this now, it becomes clear why he picked only the finest cigars. It was clearly his way to honor the finest men with whom he served.”
On this day, the men and women with whom Diaz served honored him
