Jerry Jr.--Your family loved you so much. I was five years of age when you were born in Chicago. I was in Nebraska at the time. We had a cute nickname for you, which is "Peewee." Well, you certainly out-grew that name. I was in the Tri-Cities at the time you were in Seattle and we had many fun times together. I am proud to still have your bracelet. We all had a great admiration for you and could not be prouder of your achievements. It was a terrible blow to all of us when you became MIA. I guess we still don't believe it. Our nation and the world lost a great patriot who was just beginning your path to greatness.

Thank You for your sacrifice. I pray our country will continue to find your remains for your family.
