I personally didn't know Mr Anauo but I served with Billy in Iraq and now with Joe. Think the world of both of them. To the entire Anauo family, May your loved one rest in eternal peace. God's Speed Warrior

We have know Don for years and he would always say "Good morning" in such a sweet way. He served his Country and we appreciate his service to this Nation. His life was put in harms way and If I remember correctly he said "I would rather be in service than out on a public job"
