"To The Family Of SGT Toth,
I did not know Eric, but I ordered a Memorial Bracelet from thebattlezone.com and his name was on it. I have worn it everyday for the past 4 years and only took it off for the birth of my daughter. It will have been 5 years tomorrow and I just wanted to send you my thoughts and prayers and let you know he and the sacrifices he made are still thought of to this day everytime I look at this bracelet."
