I visited the Wall in D.C. and I have never been to a more solemn place in my life. Thanks for reminding us all what it costs to be free and thanks for serving.

Excellent tribute.

Jerry,

What an Excellent and Wonderfully done Tribute to Your Friend, and in case I have never said it, Thank You, for serving and what you've endured all these years since. It was an Honor to share the experience with you Saturday, as I am sure Nance and Jake feel the same way.

Through you , Ed will never be forgotten!
