Ben,
So much is going through my mind today. This year I have a
greater appreciation for the men & women who serve in the military as well
as their families. It’s not that I didn’t appreciate your service or their
service for our country before, but since you’ve been gone I feel that I have a
little bit better understanding of the sacrifices for freedom. No, I don’t
fully comprehend those sacrifices because I have not served as you did, but I
know what those families go through having their loved ones go off to war and
even possibly having to give their lives for this country. I’m sure you’re up
in heaven saying don’t make a big deal out of all of this, but I want you to know
that I am so proud of who you were! I’m sorry that I didn’t always tell you
that. You and your dedication to our country will never be forgotten! We love
you & miss you so much! Save us that spot next to you in heaven, because
someday soon we’ll be up there with you! J
Love You Ben!
Love,
your “sidder”
