Memories

Thank you for your sacrifice!

Alicia Vasquez May 18, 2011

I never met you Rachael though I remember your face in one of the Laundry mats in Camp Taji, Iraq dedicated to you. I was moved by your face and your story. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice that you and your dear family have made. I pray that you are at peace and watching over us all. May God bless us all.

Very Respectfully,
