POSTED BY: K. Gaddy

Thank you for your sacrifice.

I am a student at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois, and this posting is part of a project I am doing for one of my classes. Although I have never met you, I want to thank you for your courageous service and the sacrifice that you made. We will never forget your incredible act of bravery in the service of your country and it shall ever be an inspiration to young Americans like myself.
