I haven't posted in a while, but thought this was worthy. If Shawn thought it important enough to write, and the Army saw fit to release it, it needs the greatest possible exposure in order to honor Sgt. Perelli's memory.

RIP, condolences and peace to this brave man’s family.

I saw this letter in the MDN this morning. Glad you posted it here. BTW, nice to see you and Mrs Knight yesterday!
