View all 10 ReflectionsIt's been 45 Years and I can still remember you driving me and my sister Ellen in your convertible on Easter Sunday. I remember your smiling face, and did not realize back then that we would not be able to see it in person after that fateful day. Thank you for your service. You are a Hero of Mine.
