Dear All,

My friend at Camp Cooke directed me to these posts about my brother-in-law, Chief Kordsmeier. I wanted to thank all those who have expressed support for Patrick's service, our family and the 39th.

Patrick wished only to serve those he called "my guys," all the men who trained with him, worked with him and depended upon his doing his job supplying them with the goods and gear they need to do their jobs. He wasn't about to stay home when his people were in a fight.

We cry for losing him, but understand he was right where he meant to be.

Godspeed to the 39th.
