Corry was a high school classmate of mine. I did not know him as well as I knew others but he was very nice. A good soul that I am sure will be missed by all those who knew him during this part of his life. I would like to add part of your writeup to a MySpace blog I plan to write about him, if that's OK with you. Thank you so much for sharing this online. Corry was a high school classmate of mine.

It helps to know that those who were nearest him while he was so far away from family loved him so much. May you return home to your family safe and soon. Wade Officer Moore:

Tyler, or Darkhorse 06, as we called him, for a few short months. He became our troop commander in February 07 and quickly transformed us into "bold, audacious cavalry troopers." Those were his words not mine. I can attest that he was highly intelligent and warm and personable. He was easily in the top one percent of the best captains I had ever worked with during my 18 years of service. Capt. Tyler was pensive, patient and wise beyond his years. He rarely asked a question in which he didn't already know the answer. Not only did he live deliberately, but he led soldiers decisively. Once on a work-related matter, I reported to Capt. Tyler about something I had done in his name without first getting his permission. Instead of scolding me as I had expected, he smiled at me and said, "Doing what's right because I asked is following orders, but doing what's right in the absence of orders -- that's disciplined initiative." Oh captain, my captian...you can never be replaced and you will never be forgotten...Sir. My heart-felt sympathy goes out to Mrs. Tyler, the Tyler children and all those friends and family who knew and loved him best. CW3 Alan Moore US Army thomas.alan.moore@us.army.mil I only knew Capt.
