Dear David, you were my Command Sergeant Major while I was the Chaplain at the 455th Field Hospital in Providence many years ago. Over the years we have worked together in VVA, DAV and at the State House. We became very close and dear friends. I miss you terribly. You are in heaven now and I look forward to honoring you, your family and your military service at Saint Ambrose on Thursday. May you rest in God's eternal peace. With love and respect, I salute you! Fr. Phil
