19 May 2006 Dear Mr. Thornton, I would like to take some time and thank you for fighting for all the generations to come. You gave your life for those of us to come. You will always be a hero to me. It really does open the eyes of young people. You came from a small town close to mine and as we both know small towns do not always experience the hurt and pain that can go on in war. It not only opens our eyes but the eyes of the community and towns surrounding. Thank you again for everything that you did for us. You will always be remembered. Rest In Peace, Jennifer Anstrom Gibson City, Illinois tanstrom@hotmail.com
