Uncle BOB

Bob you are missed. George, Ted, and my mom Marion have all passed away. I have your flag that was given to your mother Olis by the DOD. I have the telegram sent by the USA to your mom. You were part of a great family and I am honored to be related. A Nation can only be great because it's citizens. You are an example of that truth.
