Mr. Souza,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice-first for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II and secondly for the citizens of Massachusetts when you served with the DOC. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Always,
