My wife and I of 51 years together, were born three years before you sacrificed your life for our freedom. We have had a great life, Robert, one that you did not have because of your ultimate gift to our Great Country.
We THANK YOU, and the many who died during that war, and too many conflicts since, for giving us the gift of FREEDOM!
You will never be forgotten!
