I saw him the day he bought it, right after he came back from seeing you guys. I always kept his first rule, "always have a knife". I have actually been trying to find you guys for a long time. Thank you and God bless you guys."

"12/2/05 was a tragic loss for me and my daughter. Staff Sgt Philip Lamar Travis was my former husband and father to our now 17 year old daughter Taja Brenea Travis, not a day goes by that he's not thought of and now that he's gone I see more of him looking at Taja. Fortunately for us we were blessed to see him two weeks before his demise. Phil you will never be forgotten and always missed and loved.
