I served with Fein in OIF II, Baghdad March 04-05, F. trp 9 U.S. Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. He was an extremely motivated athelete and a good soldier. His dream was to play professional football, we were all proud to know he had made it. Rest In Peace brother. His arrest was based on a false charge by a "witness" that he had a handgun in a suburbia mall, it was a blackberry.
