Sonny

You are forever in my thoughts. I have your flag and your medals. My son has your watch. Most of all I have my memories. Whenever I hear a Harley, I remember the ride that should have lasted a half hour but lasted for 2 hours. I am proud that you served in Vietnam and that you were a Green Beret. The song "The Ballad of the Green Beret" still brings tears to my eyes.

I LOVE YOU

Your cousin,
Deloris
