I remember your brother Kelly of Red Creek, NY, bringing in your medals to school for show and tell. It was a sad day. I was 9 or 10 years old at the time. It was the first time in my life I saw a Purple Heart Medal. I remember it being a sad day and your brother being proud of the medals. Rest in peace.

Uncle Star,

I never met you, but I decided to follow in your footsteps, regardless. I too served in the 7th Cavalry during Operation Iraqi Freedom I and III. I'm a Staff Sergeant now and have been in for 9 years. I want give my kids a name they can believe in like you did for me. I'll be seeing you on Fiddler's Green. "GARRYOWEN"
