Mr. Battista,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army during WW II in the Pacific-especially at Pearl Harbor. You and your fellow servicemen were the first to stand up to the Japanese. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
