To the Roller Family:

Jim Roller and Jim Hartinger were my military idols growing up on 4th street in Middleport, Ohio. Although I was drftaed I never gave up hope of following in their footsteps. I eventually made it to Officers Training School and ended up as a Major in the United States Air Force Medical Corps. It was becuase of the assistance that both General Hartinger and Lt Col. Roller provided me that allowed me to obtain my goal. I will never forget either of them. Both great men and great Americans....Thanks you Lt Col. Roller for your service to our country.
