Dad, you never wavered and you never failed us. Your love permeated thru the family and held it together thru the dark times we faced. You helped shape us thru the hard learned lessons you endured through your life. You created an oasis that made balance. You helped us all more than you may have ever known. Till we meet again.
Semper Fidelis.
We thank you and the United States Military. Without both of you we would have not been able to get as far as we have.
