I served with SFC Henderson in Desert Storm with the 65th MP Company. SFC Henderson held our platoon together and was the bright shining example of what an NCO should be. I left the Army after 7 years and went on to public service where I am an EMS Director and Fire Chief. I didn't have a father figure until I went to 3rd Platoon, 65th MP Company. God Speed my friend. Your lessons live on in men who never met you.

Words seem inadequate to express the sorrow felt by the loss of Mr. Terry. His memory will forever be a light in my life. During this challenging time, may we all find comfort in the love and laughter we shared with him. Please know that my heart and thoughts are with you all since I could not be there in person.
Rest well with your Father, Terry.
With sympathy,
