It was people like your father that inspired me to become a paratrooper. I can tell you that pretty much every time I got on an airplane, I felt like those guys were all watching me- they truly made a difference, and at such a cost. It made jumping easier, knowing that such simple, honest, brave men went before me- I always aspired to be like men such as your father. The story about the kids really got me, and I am remembering others like him who I served with and have made their last jump. Please accept my condolences, and don't worry, because he's never gone as long as the people he inspired are doing the right thing like he showed when he led the way, ALL THE WAY!
