"My father enlisted Bobby, and it was heartbreaking to call him and give him the awful news in 2004. I'm having him and Craig added to a dedication plate on the VA OCS Class 57 gift, a 17ft rope climbing station. I knew Bobby as a teenager, went to war with him, and miss him to this day. Our future leaders will not forget his sacrifice."
