On today, the 1st 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 LAARNG-especially in Iraq and as well as hurricane relief as well. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
