He enjoyed music, he wrote poems, he deeply loved his family and his troops. What a sad loss.

I just found your website recently with the link to my son. I occasionally google his name to see if anything new comes up.
I thank Meredith for the comment about my son, even though she never knew him. And the quote from John Quincy Adams is perfect since my son had enormous influence in the lives of those who knew him - and it was always positive. Many people are better off because of my son. Again, thank you for thinking of him. Knowing that he goes on in people’s thoughts is all I have left of my darling baby boy. My heart is broken.
