"Happy 64th birthday Donnie. I cherish the memories of growing up in our little neighborhood and the hours of romping through the meadow catching frogs and snakes. It is hard to believe that little boy I played with and loved grew up to be an American Hero! I am honored to have known you for even such a short time. It has been 45 years since you were taken from us. I miss you Donnie. Rest in Peace my dear friend and Semper Fi."fa
