Marc Retmier Tribute

When you came home with Tyler Labor Day 2007 was the first time I met you. I could see how Tyler and you became friends, you were both so much alike. Being a veteran myself I was so proud of my son when he chose military service. Even though you were only at our home for a few days you fit right in and became a part of the family. Tyler has left Bethesda and is now stationed in Hawaii. He is coming home 10/31 for pre-deployment leave prior to a 7 month tour of duty in Afghanistan. I know that you will not be far from his mind while he is there. I think about you often and your memorial bracelet graces my home. I am thankful to have met a young man such as yourself. I hope you are watching over Tyler as he serves in Afghanistan.
