    My Nephew, you are and always will be my hero. I thank you for what you did.I always knew what kind of man you were and I never doubted your honor and courage. The Marine at your memorial said he looked up to you, he said he heard that you looked up to him, I was thinking I looked up to you too. It was my honor to speak for you. Love Your Uncle Erik

  9. Thank you for your selfless sacrifice. I've heard you didn't even have to go out that day, you volunteered. You are a hero, and reflect the highest traditions of bravery, sacrifice, and honor in the Unites States, the U.S.M.C, and the whole Naval Service. I pray for your family, and that your sacrifice will never be forgotten. The Columbus area is a far sadder place without you.
