Mr. Paiva,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during WW II-especially as a Prisoner of War-God knows what hardships you had to endure. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I hope you're with all your loved ones in heaven Uncle Gabriel. Thank you for writing about your years as a prisioner of war, I hope someday it can be published. If there's any relatives who have memories to share about Uncle Gabriel, I'd love to hear them, I never got to know him at all, other than a few things my mom(Mary his sister) told me about him. Please write me at [email protected]
