Rest in Peace. You were a very brave man. It is an honor for my children to go to the school that was named after you.

May you be in the presence of the Lord for all eternity with NO bunkers to take out and no need for bullets or grenades. Thank you for EVERYTHING you did for me and my descendants before I was ever born. We wouldn't be where we are but for men like you. Thank you, Platoon leader Oresko! I salute you!
