Mr. Garrett,
Sir, as a fellow Marine I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the USMC in Korea. Because of you and your fellow Marines standing up to Communism back then, millions of South Koreans were were able to live in freedom and prosperity and help their country become one of the most of the most industrious of the Free World. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
