I want to take this time to commend you on the bravery and commitment that you portrayed through your fighting in the Vietnam War. I am posting as a part of the Gridley High School Posting Project in Gridley, IL. What you gave for this nation in irreplaceable and your efforts will never be forgotten. Thank you and God Bless.
