Reflections for Lieutenant Robert C. Atwell

I was only ten when you died, and I probably only met you once or twice, so I don't remember you. I do remember your pretty daughter who is about my same age. I'm sure she's grown up to be a beautiful woman, very proud of her dad.
I know my mom and dad thought the world of you. They were so crushed when you were killed. I distictly remember my mom crying about your passing, and my dad being extremely angry and upset.
My folks spoke often of the trip they took in their big, black limousine with you and your wife to Milwaukee for the Indy car race. They both said repeatedly that you were a joy to be around, and that you made them laugh until they cried!
My old man's gone now too, so I know you and he are up there, having a few beers and swapping stories.
Thank you for your service. I hope to meet you again someday.
