On today, the 68th 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 you served with the U.S. Army during World Wars I and II-especially when you were a member of the 2nd "Indian Head" Infantry Division. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
