In Memory of CW5 Jamie Weeks

Today we ride in honor of CW5 Jamie Weeks.  Jamie lost his life when his helicopter was shot down near Yusufiyah, Iraq on the 14th of May, 2006.  Jamie was a great friend and a combat proven Night Stalker and 6 Gun and completed numerous combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.  He was the kind of guy who would give you the shirt off his back and always made sure the need of others was met before his.  Jamie was a big NASCAR fan and in his own words wasn’t “afraid to trade a little paint.”  He was a great Instructor Pilot and warrior who trained many generations of 6 Guns.  He could make an AH-6 dance and make a rocket fly a course it was designed to fly and hit his target.  He was proud to serve his country and will be remembered by his family and friends as a true Hero.
