Posted in our Guestbook August 12, 2010 -- see this complete trip here: I am traveling sales manager out of Miami, Florida. I found your sons photo while traveling thru the Denver airport earlier this year. Not knowing what to do with it and upon your request I did two things. I made 20 copies of the photo had them laminated and have been leaving them thru out my worldwide journey. I have left the photo at Mallory Square in Key West, FL. Arlington Cemetery, VA. On the front gate of the White House. Gave one to the Captain of The Carnival Cruise Ship Freedom so he can travel the Caribbean, perhaps your son would have loved that. Left another at the Panama Canal. Gave one to an elderly lady on a plane to Ohio she had lost her son in Vietnam, his body was never recovered. I thank to your son every time I see his picture for his sacrifice so I can raise my daughter in a free country.
