Uncle Ralph, thank you for all the memories and taking the time to share your own experiences not just once but both times I deployed in support of combat operations, Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom. It meant more than I can ever express to have your guidance and mentoring. No doubt you played a major role in my successes as a Marine and a platoon commander. You will forever be in my thoughts, prayers and memories. Your a true american hero and I am honored to be part of your life, now and forever.

Semper Fidelis,
Hank Jr
