Ed my brother, I miss you and think about you often. I hope you're keeping that tank motor pool dress right dress. I hope you're resting easy. Till we meet again at Fiddler's Green.

Freedom is not free. Thank you, Eric, you paid the price with your life to protect your fellow U.S.A. citizens. May God shine upon you abundantly. With love, your cousin, Mary Ann Diederich-Peterson
