Not sure what to say?

I was honored to attend PFC Holme's funeral this morning. Like so many who attended, I never knew him or his family but I'm so happy that their uncle was able to finally come home. I wanted to show my respect and gratitude for his sacrifice and to thank him for my life of freedom. Thank you Private Holmes. God bless you and your family.

How Wonderful to see an obituary for one of our soldiers after all these years. How wonderful it is that he finally got to come home. Even though it has been 77 years, I am sure bringing him home has reopened the pain in your hearts. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Have peace now!

He's home now God bless his family may he finally rest in peace. Thank you so much for your service God bless you

May God bless your soul. So young, so much missed, but we honor you and thank you for your service and will honor your sacrifice.

I wish to express my gratitude for this young man's service. I am sorry that your family has had to go so long without being able to identify his remains. A life taken so soon. I can't imagine what his immediate family went through at that time as well as what you all have gone through. Thank you for your sacrifice as well.
