honoring you....
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

Always on my mind
Thank you my brother for redirecting me twice with your short beautiful life. First, at Cursillo on Andrews AFB where you became my friend and my mother’s friend in 1968. Again with your friendly fire exit in early 1970. My honorable discharge is in your honor. You have been in my thoughts and prayers so many times from 1968 to the present. Your dad and I became friends years after you were gone, and I wish blessings on your whole family. May we meet again.

Thank You
Dear Cpl Robert O'Connell, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. Your 51st anniversary is in 3 days, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is Lincoln’s birthday, and Valentine’s Day is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
