Thanks

With rumors of war in the air and the possibility of many young Americans going to war I hope that we will be as brave as you were during times like these. You gave your life for our country at a young age but it was not in vain. I pray that every current soldier will be as brave and have as much courage as you.

Thanks again

T.j.Collins
