Tribute

When I think of what a great man should be, I think of you. I remember your sacrifice. Your grandchildren and your great grandchildren will continue to tell your story, even after I am gone. Bravery, leadership, chivalry, love of country and selfless support of freedom – all terms used in describing you. Rest easy there and watch for me, I will see you when my name is called. We will love you always and you will never be forgotten.
