DEAR CAPTAIN BAILEY,
THANK YOU FOR BEING A PILOT - TACTICAL INTELLIGENCE STAFF OFFICER (G2), AND BEING A WEST POINT GRADUATE. YOU DIED ON THE SAME DAY AS A FRIEND'S BROTHER, ONLY MIKE DIED SEVERAL YEARS AFTER YOU. SAY HI TO HIM IN HEAVEN. HALLOWEEN IS APPROACHING, AND ALL SAINTS AND ALL SOULS' DAYS - THE DAYS WE HONOR THOSE WHO LEFT US. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS GUIDE YOU. REST IN PEACE.
