Most everything has been said. I am grateful for the service and sacrifice of your son, your family and all the others that have served this country.

Watching the news report, I can only imagine how many people he touched, be it here in the States or overseas. I bet you'll hear many stories of the good things he did for others. I know that the news report touched me and strengthens me, knowing that young men and women will step up and serve our Lord and our country. I am sure he is missed by many.

I plan to do tell him directly someday.
