You have done an excellent job in helping us remember those who have given their lives so we, Americans, and others in the World can live better, safer and free lives. Being a military wife, I see and hear about the sacrifices every day. It is a good life but a tough one. Our family lost our beloved Adam on June 18, 2005. There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of him. He was so full of life and gave so much love. I would like to say thank you to the others whose family members are protecting our freedom and the freedom of others. I would also like to extend my condolences to those who have lost family members. I know and share your pain. Every one of you are in my prayers. GOD BLESS!

Adam was my nephew and the brightest light that I had ever known. He could always make a bad situation look good even if he knew that it wasn't possible. He was a positive role model to his friends and younger cousins. Adam you will always be in my heart and on my mind. I LOVE YOU MY ANGEL.

Your Aunt Joetta
