I am one of his newborns twins 15 years later now writing to you guys. I have read through all the reflections and couldn't be more grateful for keeping his memory alive. Most of my knowledge on him comes from articles like these and it truly means a lot. Thank you for all you do with the awareness of the sacrifices people like my dad make every day.
