Mr. Curran,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Korea during the Cold War. Because of you and your fellow servicemen, millions of South Koreans were able to live in freedom and peace and rebuild without the threat of Communist North Korea invading them. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Margie and kids,
Thanks for bringing Mikey into our family. I remember taking your wedding photos and telling Mike we all came as a package, for better or for worse...I think we really got the better of the deal. Thanks for taking us all home to Ireland, thanks for the laughs, the weather reports for Detroit, and the love.
I love you all. Quack...Quack Mikey!
love Joanne
