View all 18 ReflectionsBob and I grew up together and I remember when we bought this rusted out very old car, I think it was a Pontiac. Although this was a long time ago, I still think of him often. I remember he came to see me one day returning from deployment dressed in his full uniform. I was so happy to see him again and so very proud of him. It was a long time ago, but you never forget a close friend.
