To My Sweet Daddy,

You are the bravest most honorable man I'll ever know. You vowed to protect and serve when I was just 3, and that you did so with kindness and understanding to all you came in contact with. We love you so much and will miss you and your wisdom every single day.

Now fly high and protect us from above. Until we see you again...
