We will never forget.

I am a student at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois, and this posting is part of a project I am doing for one of my classes. Even though I have never met you, I can be sure that you did NOT die in vain. Your legacy will forever live on through your selfless act of courage, and loyalty to your country. Thank you for your sacrifice; because of it, I am truly proud to be an American.
