I was really shocked to hear this sad news. I served with SFC Gallon in Fort Stewart, GA, where we stood side-by-side during multiple deployments, field training exercises and in the neighborhoods and streets of Baghdad, Iraq.
SFC Gallon was an exceptional Soldier, and it was with great pleasure to be associated with such a kind and gentle individual. He was always in a good mood, positive and very professional, and really had a way with people. Everyone enjoyed being around him. He always had a serious demeanor, but was easy to talk too. He was both a valued member of 2nd Platoon, and a true Brother in Arms.
There are some people that make work worth it on the dreariest of days—that was SFC Gallon. Rest in Peace bother. Until we meet again!
