I have never met my brother but I have never heard a bad word said about him. I only have one question left that I cannot seem to get an answer from family or friends of his - Why would someone in college with a big life ahead of him leave to fight a war that no one wanted to fight? We lost our mother this year and I know that she is with you and Dad. I miss you, Bro, but I know Dad and Mom are happy to see you. I invite all to add any info to this to keep the memory alive.

From his brother,
Doug Ator
