So many years have passed and yet, for some, it was yesterday.

Brother, you have NOT been forgotten, this wonderful site and the Memorial in DC have made sure of that, as, no doubt, every member of your family and every friend you ever had.

God Bless, Brother.

I am priviliged to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.
