I met you once before you deployed, I was 12 years old. Your mother worked in the lunchroom at my school. Your sacrifice brought the reality of the war home to me. I saw how your kind mother was devastated by your loss. May God richly Bless the families of all of those who were lost. Thank you for your service and sacrifice, Sir.
