Our sympathy to John's loved ones. To know that we put a smile on John's face and those of his fellow soldiers when receiving packages from home is so rewarding. We had a chance to meet John and his family at his fundraiser last year and were proud to be in the presence of such a remarkable man. We thank him for him service and may he rest in peace.
