[Al Lewis]

13 Months before I entered the Air Force. We lost a lot of good men in that war. Most every High School friend I had. Tim, your Dad was doing what he believed in. I'm sure you and your brother are very proud of him and just as sure you'd rather have him back. I honor your father's sacrifice, and that of the thousands of others that came before and after him, every day of my life by remembering them and what they did for us. I think about our troops every day and what they are doing for us now. No matter what any author writes or any politician may spout, our Veterans are what made this country great! Twenty-two years in the Air Force and the loss of now countless friends and yet a story of a man I never new still brings tears to my eyes as if he were my own brother. God Bless you and yours, Tim. The Lord has already received your father in heaven where he watches over you and prepares a place for those of us that will follow one day.
