THE WALL OF FACES

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

To the grandfather I never met…

You spent your entire adult life serving our beautiful country and protecting our freedoms. Although you passed before I was born, I love you dearly and I’m looking forward to the day that I can meet you in person and finally give you a hug. Our family has missed you every day since you left. Thank you for your service to our country and for the legacy of love that you left behind. You will never be forgotten.

Love,

one of your many grandchildren
