27 May 2007 Russ, it has been a while since we put you in your final resting spot. Every time I visit your grave I see our young friends fighting back the tears as we held the flag over your casket, I hear the Taps and the rifle fire of that final salute. God Bless You on this Memorial Day 2007. From a friend, Bob Lepsch qbbl515@msn.com
