One Cordero to another Cordero

William I will never forget your sacrifice. I am also a Cordero from Santa Barbara, CA. Many years ago while visiting the Vietnam Memorial at Eilings Park I can remember meeting your immediate relatives which were my fathers 1st cousins. So in fact you are my 2nd cousin.

I was a U.S. Navy Aircrewman (Retired) serving many years in Europe and the Middle East during peace and war time.

Please know whenever I am at a Veterans function you are always honored, remembered and never forgotten.

Dad, on June 4 the President hosted a ceremony for America’s Gold Star Families.

While you & Dicky looked on us from above — mom, Bill, Terri, Tony & Jim represented the family and stood when your name was called to be remembered while the President, Vice President and leaders of the US military looked on.
