A Vietnam War sailor has passed away today. Chuck, you are now relieved from your watch. A job well done fellow Vietnam Veteran. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored.

Charles, Thank You for Your service to our country. God Bless You! God be with your family! Sincerely, A Grateful American
