Milton Anthony Gist Jr.

This man wasn't only my NCO,more importantly he was my friend and my motivator. The small precious years I got to spend with him will never be forgotten.

Well, I´m 20. Just so you know I´m definitely not with him anymore. Or anyone for that matter. I´m ok with it though. I´m 2 years into my associates degree for automotive technology now. One year left to go. I´ve definitely learned a lot but can still learn more. I started a new job as a fabricator. This means I measure, cut, and weld metal to be basic. I made a table last week. It was pretty cool. I hope you´d be proud of me. Happy Father´s Day, daddy. I miss you. Love Day<3

Hey, I´m 18 now. I got my first car back in march. I started my first semester of college this past august. And I just moved out yesterday. I´ve made new friends, and I have a boyfriend whom I´d hope you´d approve, he´s kinda going to be around for a while. I miss you, especially now. Hope you´re having a good time where you´re at. love Jendayah Gist, your oldest P.s. don´t worry, I´m keeping our last name:)

Gist, I had the pleasure and honor of serving with you in Basic Training at Ft. Knox. You were the rock of our platoon and I consider you our real Platoon Guide. I was 17 at the time you looked up to you for strength because I was scared. You were genuinely an inspiration to me at this time. I remember you telling me the struggle you went through to join the Army and when I heard you made the ultimate sacrifice, my heart hurt for you and your family. I remember the last time I saw you was in...

Hey, it's me Jendayah. I'm 16 now. I remember i used to dream about being this old haha, i wish dreams were more realistic though bc in one of my dreams you were here. I wonder how different things would be if you were here. Oh and don't worry I don't have a bf and I don't really mind it. I miss you so much. Now that i think about it it's somewhat weird to say ily to a man I hardly remember and the crazy thing is I do. I love you.

Love your favorite daughter

Hey it's me again. School started earlier this month and I'm doing ok. It's a lot different than before so I'm trying to get used to it and be as helpful as I can. I'm going to be 16 soon in abt 4 months but I don't think I'll really do anything. I'm sure you know about all the changes going on right now. And yea it's hard but that's what life is. I'm trying a new outlook on life which is trying to be more positive it's working out ok-ish. I'm also trying to be more open towards people but I...
