I'm doing a report on unsung heroes who don't get the recognition they deserve, your courage and dedication put you at the top of my list. I plan on being a State Trooper after I graduate and hope to be half the man you were. Thank you for your services and you will never be forgotten.

Dear Joe,

Missing you a lot at the moment for two reasons, the 6th anniversary of your death and the 11th anniversary of 9/11. That sticks in my mind the most as it symbolises when I lost contact with you because you were on active duty :(

Thank you for your friendship for the 8 years that I was privileged to know you. My life is better having known you and the wonderful person you were.

I made it to your home town 2 years ago and visited your memorial. I left flowers on behalf of myself and some of the Marines you served with in Islamabad.

Miss you and thanks for everything.

New account email, Joe, lol, so I'll begin this one by leaving my condolence on the 6th anniversary of your passing. I know it's three days late, so I apologize. The city of Amsterdam is falling apart, unfortunately, but my hopes are still high in join the boys in blue. Unfortunately, I cannot be a trooper because I'm 10 credit hours short of the 30 minimum, ntm, I have an anger issue, so I've decided to be a correctional officer. I have no clue where Teri moved to, so I can't talk to her personally :(, however, you guys are forever in my prayers. Even though we never, we're still part of the same family. I miss you, Joe.

Thinking of you everyday, big brother. Keep watching over us. I had read somewhere not to long ago that the scum who took you from us tried to escape prison again, but failed. I'm thankful for that.
