Hi Uncle Gerald, I was too young to remember you but I always felt your spirit through Operations Just Cause, Desert Shield, and Desert Storm. I'm so very proud of what you did and I constantly remind your great nephew (Brandon Christopher Joseph Clarkson) of who you are and what you did. I know you're in a better place but I just want to let you know we love you...

From a nephew,
Ronald A Clarkson II
United States Army

PS...Thanks for keeping me safe for the cause and providing the shield while in the storm.
