Everyone must leave something behind when he dies . . . Something your hand touched some way so your soul has expressed your love . . . It doesn't matter what you do, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.” Papa you was in my eyes the best Veteran the gave his life for his country and His family. You went though so many battle in you life alone now I know your at peace I'll miss your smile.Your Love you shown to me. And I'll always remember reaching in your pocket to get a piece of gum. You always called me your pest. I'll always cherish the days and years God gave me you...
