To my Great-Uncle who I never got a chance to meet:

You made the supreme sacrifice for our great country and you will always be in my heart. I personally want to thank you for all that you did for this country, and I am proud to stand beside you and serve and protect the greatest country in the world. All of us are proud of you. God Bless you.
