CPT Jeffrey Howard Conord:

For those who may not have had the privilege of knowing Jeff, we want to explain the reason behind this event, and share a little bit about who Jeff was. We also wanted to share our gratitude for your participation.

I met Jeff ("Hoss Boss") circa 2004/2005 when he pledged our fraternity, Alpha Sigma Phi, at Radford University. After college, Jeff enlisted in the Army National Guard. Commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Army in 2008 with the 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan and then promoted to Captain in 2014. Jeff was conducting combat operations throughout 2009 and 2010. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Army Commendation Medals for valor.
Jeff was a hero, a friend who would drop anything to support another friend, and genuinely one of the best God has ever given to us. To say he was taken too early is an understatement.
I think the best way that I can put this for those who didn’t know Jeff, is that out of all that he was, he was a great man. I was blessed to have been able to have shared the short amount of time that I had with him. He was our friend, and we miss him.

So thank you again for coming out to celebrate Jeff, and supporting all of his friends and family! We are looking forward to a great day in his honor!
