My buddy Ronnie was awesome. Before leaving for Afghanistan, we went to see the Offspring in concert and rocked out at his backyard birthday bash. His death was hard for all of his friends- but hardest for his family.  Gold Star sister, Chirstie Berkey shared her experience, and how the caring people at TAPS  (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors) help families heal and recover.
