Leonard Malloneé Cowherd III

Dear Cowherd family, especially Leonard II and Mary Ann. I am sorry it has taken me so long to write this, and I doubt Leonard talked about me much, but he made a large impression on me.

Dear Cowherd family. I learned of your loss by watching the HBO series Letters From Home. Thank you for sharing such a personal story.
Your loss became my loss. Became my loss. Your burden became my burden. In honor of your son in have planted a Minnesota Red Pine at my cabin in northern Minnesota. Every time that I go there I will remember your son.
God bless you.

To the family and friends of 2nd Lt. Leonard M. Cowherd:
Always remembering Leonard. "Some gave all."

I respect our veterans for their service to our country, my thoughts are always with you.

To Leonard and Mary Ann, I stopped by Arlington over the weekend to pay my respects to your son and his immense service to our country.
I hope that God has placed his hands on your family and helped you heal in this loss. I am in awe of your sacrifice as I am with Leonard lll's sacrifice for his fellow man. I fully expect(as a marine) to see at least two United States Army Tankers guarding the pearly gates when I get there.
All my love, Dean Settle
