To my uncle and one of my true heroes. It is pretty hard for me to even express how I feel. You gave me word of advice the first time I left home to come to war. And it is because of this war I am not able to be there for my family. Uncle Chuck meant the world to me he took all us camping gave us young men advise on life. He also served in a war made it home to raise a family and teach all of us men how to be men. I will miss him dearly this lost has touched me here in Iraq. To my family I wish I could be there and I love you all. You are with me in my prayers.
