Oh Bobby, you be careful. We'll remember you in our thoughts and prayers, just like we do for all of you. Send your dad to the canteen so he can say "hey" to you. I'm sure he'll fit right in, and we'll make him feel at home. I hope he enjoys FR. Please stay safe and keep in touch with us. Thank you for serving our country so unselfishly and tell your parents hello for us. They raised a good man. xoxoxoxox
