Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from high school student John Byerly is touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

Hello Jay, I am currently a high school student in western Washington. I first saw your name on The Wall last year on a school trip to the capital. I figured there would be a Byerly there because our family has lived in this great nation for such a long time. The day after I had the incredible honor to present a wreath at The Tomb of the Unkown Soldier and during the ceremony I was thinking of how I would never forget your sacrifice to our country. I don’t know how I am related to you, but hopefully one day I’ll find out. I just want to let you know you will not be forgotten and that it is a great honor to share your name. I hope that you are proud looking down on me in Heaven and when I die I will be able to meet you. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
