Sorry to hear. Rest in peace!

Larry, that is a very nice letter and sentiment. I agree 100% on your feelings on Veterans' day. I am in the Marines and actually got the chance to speak to all of the Marines in my command element (over 100) about how Veterans' Day came about. Most of them did not know. As for the shopaholic nature of Veterans’' Day, I guess I missed out on a lot of that. Being in Okinawa, you do get cut off from the hype that accompanies a great many US holidays.
Thank you Major. And more importantly, Thank You for your service to our country.
