I would like to say Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife Gretchen of 23 years! I know we are far apart for another anniversary, but we will always be close in spirit. We will celebrate in beautiful Hawai'i when I get to come home. Thank you for the eight wonderful children we have. You are still the love of my life and I am a lucky man to have you for my wife. Thank you for all the support you have gladly given all these years.
Semper Fidelis
