I always remember you Rocky
We shared a childhood of memories in our neighborhood. We joined the Army together along with Mike Torres & Gary Sharman. You & Mike made the ultimate sacrifice. You are missed.
I remember while stationed in Korea we exchanged letters. The last letter you sent me said you were concerned as you were a few clicks from Cambodia. I never heard from you again and got word shortly after that you gave the ultimate for this country. It saddened me then and now.
We had great times and I wish you could have lived an adult life after your service so we could have shared our experiences.
You are an American hero I am proud to have known.

honoring you...
A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
