Although we never met I know you are my guardian angel and have been looking out for me these past 30 years. I have felt you with me always and am proud to say my Daddy is a hero. I tell my two girls about their Grandpa and what a great man he must have been. Thank you for giving your life for your country and for the freedom we take so much for granted. They never found that picture of me Mom sent when they recovered your belongings so I know you must have taken it with you to Heaven.
I love you Daddy!

I want to add for all those others who gave their lives, Thank you to all the men and women who served and continue to serve today.
