THE WALL OF FACES

We never forget the day the Army car drove down the road and turned into your driveway. Officers got out and as they headed to the door everyone at our house began crying. Your parents and sisters never stopped mourning. You were a wonderful young man, friend, and adopted brother. Your best friend Jim Winkleman, my brother, just died and I know he is with you now again and that gives me comfort and peace. Don, you live forever in our hearts.

Even though I did not know you personally, you have changed my life. You fought for the freedoms of my family and every citizen of this great nation. For this, I thank you.

Thank you for serving your country. I am thankful for your service.
