Thank You

Thank you Sir, for paying the supreme sacrifice for the wellbeing of a nation. I am a student of Gridley High School in Illinois, and am doing a project on the virtual wall. I cannot imagine the horrible circumstances you were put through in your dedication to serving America. I can only hope that if I am put in a similar situation I will have the courage you possessed in laying down your life for Americans. Your actions will never be forgotten.
