To the Samten family,

I was assigned to an Air Force unit at Tallil AB or as it was known to Airmen, Ali Base. As the Director of the Emergency Operations Center that morning, I was on duty when indirect fire impacted our installation. I assisted coordinating the dispatch of Air Force firefighters and security policemen...

Hello big brother, I know I haven't written in a long time, but I know you know you're always on my mind.

Remembering you often but especially on this up coming Memorial Day. I am still working on getting your name on the war memorial here in Prescott. It turned out to be a bigger project than I could imagine. The memorial is for all servicemen and women who have died in the service of our country from all of Yavapai County. This is one huge county. But I will get it done.

You'd be so proud of what wonderful people they are. Dharma acts just like you and loves to read and write stories. Michael walks exactly like you and looks like your carbon copy. They are both very loving, intelligent, compassionate and mature. It's so hard not having you here. A lot has changed. We are...
