Thank You

Dear Lcpl Robert Nelson, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It’s a New Year, but not necessarily better. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Rest In Peace Brother

It is regretful we never met. I made three trips to Vietnam in the US Navy and was on my way home in 1969 on your fateful day. God bless and watch over you, protect you, bless you. As we say in the Navy, Fair Winds and Following Seas always.
