You are a hero who has given the ultimate sacrifice. Your, then 9 year old, son (Robert Jr.) turned 80 years old this past July. I was fortunate enough to meet him during a call for service He is alive, well and still misses his father.

You would be very proud of your son. You are never forgotten. God bless you.
