Uncle Charlie, I do not even know what words to say. You aught me so many lessons growing up. I was always so excited to have you and Aunt Alice come down to visit. You were the reason I have such a love and admiration for the military! Please give Aunt Alice, Grandma and Dad a hug for me! I Love You Uncle Charlie!!!!
