George: It's 36 years since we graduated. And 33 years since you gave the ultimate sacrifice. A day does not go by that I don't think of you. I can still see that shi-- Grin! It's a lifetime later! You are still my Hero. As Veterans' Day approches I want to thank you. Although You'll never be someone's Husband or Father, You will always be My Friend and a part of My Family and My life. I will never forget. My wife and I went to see the moving wall last year. When I saw your name I broke down in tears as I took a rubbing. I'm sure you have heard these words before "Job well Done"
