Remembering you on this day and every day, as a young girl my parents gave me your bracelet to look at your name, to remember there was someone out there who was lost who had integrity and who was fighting for our freedom! Your bracelet taught me about faith, remembering, praying, and that FREEDOM isn’t free and you paid the ultimate sacrifice so we could fly our FLAG proudly today! I cried so many tears for you and when I found out YOU were an MIA because they never said your name as a released prisoner... reading finally that they found your remains and could lay you to rest was one of the saddest days of my life! my father was a Marine for 20+ years he came out of two tours in Vietnam alive I couldn’t understand how so many were lost and taken but my daddy was spared! THANK YOU for all YOU Sacrificed for this Great Country, Your Family and for Me & my Family! You will NEVER be forgotten!
