Gents, please consider supporting this fundraiser for the Cantrell family. CW2 Eddie Cantrell was a Warrant Officer at 3rd Special Forces Group. He died while charging back into his home that had caught on fire in order to rescue his daughters. All three perished in the fire. Chief Cantrell died a hero by any standard. He was recently laid to rest at Arlington cemetery, buried with his daughters.
