Never Forget

My Dad was your Commander of Company F. He wrote your parents to notify them of your death. I grew up reading the letter your Dad wrote back, and I treasure it to this day. Your dad loved you and was very proud of you.

honoring you...

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.
