My Brother
General Remembrance
Even though I was to young to remember you, our parents always kept you alive in our hearts. As a child we would fly your flag and decorate your grave.

In my mind I always have the memory of the Easter card you had sent me. Telling me that even though I was to small to read this I want you to know I love you.

Today your memory is still alive. My children know you the best by what I can share. I will always remeber you. Today I teach them what Memorial Day is about and how important it is to keep this in our heart.

You were killed just 11 days before my 2nd. birthday. I know you arrived home on my birthday. I know there was no party for me. To much greiving and not understanding. I would trade my birthday again if I could see your face. But, I know today you hold me like you had before in so many ways.
I will always miss you!!!!!
