I would like to thank you for being a friend and fellow Marine. It has been a long time without you and I still don't know much. You were a friend and comrade in arms, you gave the ultimate and you will not be forgotten. Jacob Hatter, Scott Walgren, and I have carried your memory for 39 years and you are not forgotten. Semper Fi!

From a fellow Marine,
