I never got to meet you but I knew you. Thank You for your sacrifice Sir. I wish you could have seen all your Great Grandchildren. I thank you for the name you will never be forgotten. Welcome Home.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. I am heartened you returned home though I wish it had been under very different circumstances. May you rest in eternal peace.
