Dear PFC Robert Coffey,
Thank you for your service as a Watercraft Operator. December is here, along with all the preparations. It is almost Christmas. It is so 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 strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Well my sweet and loving brother, i miss your smile, imiss u being my big brother. I could have never had a better and loving caring brother than you. I cant believe u were taken away from me. I went into the army the same year you were taken from me. It was hard for me, dad and mom when they told us u had been killed. Mom took it so hard. Her only son was taken away from her. U shouldnt have been over there. But u were drafted and u proudly served your country giving your life. But all who gave their lives, was in vain, usless and meaningless deaths and familys torn apart. I thak you my brother for your bravery, and being a man at such a young age. Im sorry u never married, and had any children to carry on your name, and to make me an aunt. Sorry was life was cut short, u had a bright future ahead of u. But one day i know i will see u again. I know what ever job u had to do , u did your best. U r the best brother any sister could have. I love u. You are gone in body but not in spirit, your spirit will live on. All who knew u loved you. You are missed. I love you my brother. No day goes by without any thoughts of u. God has keep me alive 64 yrs, i am blessed. Just wish u were here with me. I am lonely without u. U were and still my hero. Love you Bobby Coffey, you will never be forgotten, love ya ,your sister Marsha Coffey Bolden.

Robert is buried at Pythian Ridge Cemetery, Sturgis, Union County, KY.

Thank you PFC Coffey for your courage in a dangerous place.
