I served with HM3 Cannon in K-Bay and was his Senior Line Corpsman when he check on board and was assigned to 3/3 Lima Company, he was a good guy and a smart Corpsman, it was my job to get him ready for his first deployment to Iraq, I didn't know him long but I know he will be missed by all who knew him.

May he rest in peace.
