"I will never forget the day I hear about this life changing moment. We were stationed on Elmendorf when word came down that you had made the ultimate sacrifice. I did not personally know you, but I felt a complete loss at that time. Each and every life lost is so tragic, but when it's someone you may have walked by before in the BX, or someone who may have checked your ID coming on base...it hits that much harder. Thank you for all you did for our Country and the Air Force. You will NOT be forgotten! I hope Heaven's treating you as good as you treated us on Earth!!!"
