Captain Sizer and family,
Being apart of the Air Force family and also the Academy family, I hope you understand that we are all here for you and your family. It is a great loss for you. This past summer, I explained to my mother that I was not afraid to die and was willing to serve my country proudly when called upon. I believe this was the same way that your son felt. It takes a certain kind of person to wake up every morning and face death with the possibility of living to tell the tale or having the man you saved tell it for you. It is that man who is a hero for all because they gave what had been given to fight for the same thing you and I are fighting for daily, freedom. I wish you the best and know that no matter the situation, you have many people to back you up in every way.
