Dave, I think of you often, along with many other soldiers. I remember your professional knowledge as an Infantry Ranger. You were fearless and confident. I remember that no matter how tough things were you always had a smile (or was that a smirk?). I'm sorry that every one of you didn't get to come home. I owe you a lot for watching out for me. This country owes a lot to men like you. Thanks again.
