I remember them (Kristopher & Travis) catching the school bus going to Pace High. Kris loved being over at your house with Travis playing the guitar and playing games on the computer. Mr. Walter loved Travis at our home. I think Travis looked at every picture of Vietnam, Italy, and Greece. He loved all the medals and things of the 1st and 26th Marines where Walter served. Travis could not wait to be a Marine and serve and protect his country. He was the best son a mother and father could ever want. He is our Hero! We are so proud of him and of you for being the wonderful role models for him to follow. We feel your pain and loss. May God Bless you and comfort you forever. Love always Dearest Beckie, Scott, Anna and the rest of your wonderful family,

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them..." from laurence binyon's 'for the fallen'.
