Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. Your 51st anniversary just passed, sigh. It is Presidents' Weekend, and good time to remember those who serve. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
