Steve .... just remembering you today on Veterans Day 2020. Thanks for the great times we had together at Ft Jackson. Bill

Dear Major Carl Merlino, Thank you for your service as an Operations & Training Staff Officer. Your 49th anniversary is soon, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is another autumn. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Uncle Carl, the trajectory of our lives changed forever with your loss and the loss of our mother, your sister. Only God knows the ultimate plan but regardless of the past we are all accountable for making a better future. We miss you and the difference in our lives you would have made.

John 15:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
