FORT DRUM â âI just hope that I made you proud, and if I donât come home for any reason I just want you to know Iâll always be with you.â
These words were penned by Sgt. Joshua M. Harapko in a letter to his mother, Pat Moran, before the battle of Tora Bora in Afghanistan in 2001. Sgt. Harapko survived the battle and came home alive, but later died in a routine training exercise on Fort Drum in 2003 at the age of 23.
Soon, his words, along with those of his fellow brothers in arms of the 10th Mountain Division, both past and present, will be displayed for all to see.
