Early in career,I disliked Byrd.But like many,he grew on me,Respected the fact that he fought all comers and called out anyone that would listen.He sort of turned the corner and seemed to fight more aggressively almost to make an impression/statement.Age combined with battle damage accumulated but you could not question his heart..ever.I was weary of his Lt Heavy quest to re event himself and he showed all the signs of a past it fighter George,man it was sad.You can shed the weight,but not the damage and years.I hope he retires fast,The man is as sharp as they come and seemingly has a great family.Time to get out but like many...continues to grasp at memories with faded skills,boosted by pride.
