Even if I never got a chance to ever meet my great-uncle, I will always love him. My grandmother loved him and tells stories about how they used to play with each other. I bet he was great at his job during the war. My grandmother misses him very much. Sitting here looking at his badges, I hope he is watching over us.

From his grandnephew,
