POSTED ON 11.1.2009, POSTED BY: KATHIE. ANGEL DAY. My mere words of “thank you" cannot express what I really feel for your service to our country and the ultimate sacrifice that you made. But, I do most humbly thank you. Although others might feel that the loss of your life was in vain and that the Vietnam War was a senseless war, I am one American who does not feel this way. I believe that what you did for our country was not in vain, but has and will always be an influence for good for us today and for countless generations to come. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing up for what was right and for paying the ultimate price. In your honor today on your Angel Day I leave this short poem for you:

“There is not greater love than this. There is not a greater gift that can ever be given. To be willing to die, so another might live. There is not greater love than this.” ~ Steven Curtis Chapman; Love, your cousin Becky.
