Mr. Sawicki will always be considered a HERO for serving our country during a time when fighting for freedom was essential. You fought in what was considered the Forgotten War but you and your brothers-in-arms will never be forgotten. Thank you Sir for your bravery, courage and sacrifice. May God hold you in his loving arms. Rest in Peace.
