Capt. Schiller sounds like an extraordinary young officer. In the story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal linked below, is this:
In September 2005, Schiller's brigade was assigned to New Orleans for
relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina. Only seven hours had elapsed
between the time the assignment was announced and the time soldiers
were deployed and conducting relief operations, Earnhardt said.
"Our deployment standards are usually 18 hours after notification," Earnhardt said.
"For a company executive officer or a troop executive officer to
work with subordinate and lead officers to organize a deployment that
quickly is extraordinary," Earnhardt said.

Captain, should we be invited by your family, it will be our deepest regret, but a priviledge to stand in your honor.

Our most sincere and heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Capt. Rhett Schiller.
Take comfort in knowing that the 67,000 members of The Patriot Guard Riders support and
grieve with you at this time of great loss.
In Flanders Fields
IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields. |

This is another one that hits very close to home.
I had talked to the LT Schiller a few times before both Katrina and OIF. He was a very good man.
To the family and friends of Cpt Schiller my most sincerest condolences to you during this time. |
