Dear Uncle Paul,
I will never forget your stories about "the big one", WWII. I will always cherish the time we had together and the love you gave us all.
I am sorry I can't say my respects properly but I am following in your footsteps in the Air Force.
When you find grammy, tell her I miss her.

Your loving great-niece,
Alicia
