To The Bolgers, McCarthys and Porters,

I give my sincerest condolences for your loss. The memories of Kevin that I do have, from my younger days as a little rugrat, are that of a fun-loving, patriotic american. A good ol' boy that would still be fighting "the good fight" today if Uncle Sam would have let him. He is in a better place now. A place of "Higher Command" where he can look down and shield those of us who have our "boots on ground" in this current War on Terror. God bless his soul and the souls of all of our fallen heroes. My prayers are with you.
