Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

I have never forgotten that day . That day the call had come through that you had received a hardship discharge. I never got the chance to tell you before the bouncing betty and firefight .

Dear PFC Thomas Brown,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
