REMEMBRANCES

Remembering Robert
Posted on 4/12/19 - by Jonathan PolanskyI served with Robert in the 101st in Vietnam. I remember the night, and the firefight, when we lost him. Our platoon was broken hearted. He was a friend and a brave leader. I have always kept him in my heart.MORE -
Never Forgotten
Posted on 7/17/18 - by Maryann DixonWhile trying to remember significant moments in my life I came upon this site that I never knew existed. Reading through the remembrances I found the one left by my great niece and it brought me to tears. Her grandfather was my brother-in-law. Bob once drove me back to NJ from Chili, NY were I was visiting with my cousin. Those were a treasured 6 hours we spent chatting mostly about my sister. His love for her was obvious to me. His sacrifice for family and country must never be forgotten or thrown away by a reckless, despicable president.MORE

Remembering An American Hero
Posted on 11/22/13 - by Curt Carter ccarter02@earthlink.netDear SGT Robert Nicholas Prete, sirMORE
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter
