17 Jan 2001 Dear sir, I am also from Goleta, California. I did not know you, but I thank you for giving the most precious gift of all: your life. Thank you, sir, for protecting my freedom. You are a hero to me. Sincerely, Aaron Gosnell

05 Jun 2007 Anton Schoepke and John Hooper served with my father, Robert Reigel. My father was shot down during his tour of duty, and Mr. Schoepke and Mr. Hooper flew into hostile territory to pick him up. Without their courage, my father may not have survived, and I would not have been born 4 years later. Thank you for your service, thank you for your courage, thank you for your sacrifice. I am a teacher, and I work hard so we remember all of our service men and women. You may be gone, but we cannot allow ourselves to forget. From the son of a friend, William Reigel E-Mail will be forwarded by the Webmaster@VirtualWall.org
