Mr. Hume,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II in the Pacific and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
