Sgt. Spybuck,
On today, the 51st anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when served with the U.S. Army in Korea as a Combat Infantryman with the 45th “Thunderbird” Infantry Division fighting the communist Chinese and North Koreans. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
