Calais, ME
To the strongest, kindest, most gentle Hero that ever lived: You lived your life in service, never thinking of yourself. You left the world a better place, touching so many and brightening so many lives. You gave your all to your country, to your family and to your community. You helped to shape the lives of so many young men and women and your distinguished service and legacy shall live on through their lives and accomplishments. You are truly my American Hero and I salute you. May God bless you and keep you, until we are reunited on the other shore. Rest well faithful soldier, your son.
