I bullrode with Aaron at Central for 2 years, and didnt hear of him passing until 2019. Just joined this page 6 months ago and saw Aarons face on an add and clicked on it to get to this thread. Good to see so many people knew him and respect his service. Aaron was an awesome dude to be around. Happy i was able to share some really cool experiences with him and Becky while going to college together.

Bull riding?!  Well you learn something new everyday but that doesn't surprise me a bit.  Aaron was a take the bull by the horns kind of guy.  Brings a smile to my face to learn this about him.  Thank you for sharing.

I bet you do.  That comment brought another smile to my face. Thank you.

I am guessing he is smiling at some of your current antics, thinking "what is that guy doing down there?"

I think it is genetic, in your DNA.  :chuckle:

Had no interest in internet forums until I found this site and started stalking his posts like a teenage girl! I knew nothing about the elk areas in Central Washington until I followed his posts on here and read his discussions with folks like Whitefoot. Very smart guy.

Visited Aaron’s resting place today and placed a flag that has been in my truck for years, I mostly use my truck for hunting and outdoor adventures. But today I knew where that flag was supposed to be. Rest in peace CPT Blanchard, your sacrifice will not be forgotten. 🇺🇸🫡
