I still think about you.
You earned that Silver Star,
but the cost was high.

Thanks,

Dear Johnny,

"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his brothers." (John 15:12) I talked to your brother Joe today, and his devoted love for you is unabated. My family and I love you and so do all whose lives you touched.

It was a privilege to go through Frederick High School with you and play on the same varsity championship football and track teams. As our kicker, you lived up to your name, the "Golden Toe."

I pray that God will bless your family and provide His comfort now and forever. Blessings from the "Blazer."

Semper Fi!
