Remembered

DEAR PFC BARTON,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A GRUNT. I AM GLAD YOU WERE FOUND IN 1972, AND IDENTIFIED IN 1983. WELCOME HOME. WATCH OVER THE U.S.A., IT STILL NEEDS YOUR COURAGE. ADVENT IS HERE, AND CHRISTMAS IS APPROACHING. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU. THE NEW YEAR IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER, WHICH MAKES IT FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO HAVE BEEN GONE. GOD BLESS YOU. MAY THE SAINTS AND ANGELS BE AT YOUR SIDE. REST IN PEACE.
