Jason and Craig,
I was so sorry to hear that your dad passed away. These past few years, I have missed seeing him walking the dog. Your parents never seemed to mind all of us kids running around their yard in the evening playing hide and go seek. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Sir, I did not know you personally, however I would be honored to "Thank You" for your dedicated and honorable Military Service; to OUR Country. As a member of the "GREATEST GENERATION", and as a "WORLD WAR II VETERAN"; you Sir are my HERO! At a later date, we will meet in that "SPECIAL PLACE" which GOD has reserved, for ALL of those who have stepped forward; to serve their Country in a Military Uniform. May ALL of GOD'S blessings, be with your Dear Family! Sergeant Major (E-9) Larry E. &...
