I was watching the news story tonight about the ceremony for the Fallen Heroes and Gary popped up in my mind. I was a friend of his sister Linda and his cousin Marcella and knew all of the Wade kids, their parents and uncles. I remember getting the news of his passing and attending his funeral. It was such a shock, he was so young. He was a great guy and very much loved by his friends and family. They were so proud of him.

Thank you all for your sacrifice and your service.
