I never knew my cousin Ronny. All I know about him was he was my cousin, killed in a freak accident, but came home as a hero as so many others. When I try look up Ronny in various other websites, I rarely ever find him. So tonight, I am writing this to tell that he served for his country and to protect his family and friends. I really do wish he lived, for he was like me - loved good jokes, watching movies, and hated school.

Ronny was used to check out tunnels dug by the enemy to see if he could find the enemy hiding in there or supplies of theirs. On a routine check, I believe he had gotten stuck and then suffocated. If anybody knows the whole story, please post it. And if anyone, I doubt it, knew Ronny and has a picture of him, could they send it to me. I have never seen a picture of him.

Ronny, bro, thanks for serving and you'll always be on my mind.

Your cousin,
Jake Coleman Pendergist
