Sam, I did not know you personally, but I knew
who you were and your family. I spoke to your
mother a few years back. She still misses you.
We in Manila salute you, Brave Soldier.
You gave the ultimate sacrifice for your country and our freedom.
You will never be forgotten.
Rest in the sweet peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sam, I want you to know that you and all our service guys from Manila are and will always be in our hearts and souls. As you know you're up there with your Dad, and now your brother Paul along with other family members.

Your mom is still the sweet lady she always was and she is fine and she misses you and your family members there with you.

You can be proud of your children - they are good boys and they are looking forward til they can see you.

Love from a family member,
