Some "Black Sabbath" came on the radio the other day. Brought back memories of driving around GBury late at night, trying to find the next party. My son was in the car and I told him this was one of your favorite bands. 10 year olds usually don't listen to Ozzy, but he was jamming to the music as a tribute to you. Wish I had a chance to see you again, one last time. RIP.

Although we have never met, I heard beautiful things about you. I met your mom years ago thru my job. She is so very proud of you every single day. I hope you know just how truly grateful I am. Because of men and women like you, we have the freedom to live our daily lives. You are a true hero in every sense of the word. Thank you doesnt come close to what I feel. But I do thank you so very much for fighting for our country, giving your life so we can be free. May God Bless You and your family. I am truly proud to be an American and extremely proud of our troops. Semper Fi~
