21 January, 2007 Dear Little Brother, It has been 39 years today since you died for your Country and fellow Marines. More than ever I miss your bright smile and general good outlook on life. I often think of the pranks you pulled, like disposing of my collection of 4,000 marbles that I saved over the years. I want you to know that you will NEVER be forgotten. Brother Al visits and cares for your final resting place, I have put together a memorial and scrapbook, and you are in the hearts and minds of your three brothers always. Your brothers, Bob, Al, and Gary Rozelle dokoikimasa@yahoo.com
