My cousin, Dan, just returned from a year in Kuwait. He was a motor pool Ssgt. there, mainly up-armouring rolling stock. Dan served his country with pride and came home a changed man. Changed for the better. Dan was starting new here and things were looking very good for his future. Last Sunday evening, Dan stopped to help a stranded motorist and was struck and killed by a passing vehicle. We had his funeral today, with full honors! We all will miss Dan, as his service here is complete. Thanks Dan, for being you!!!

Thanks for the words. A great American and we don't even have to know him. That is a testimony in itself. God bless all concerned.

One understands how life may be lost in a time of war but to have survived that and have this happen makes one wonder why. He is in a better place may god compfort you, all of his family and friends.

Your friends and family will be in my prayers! Words cannot express our gratitude for Dan's service to our country!

Sir, These things shouldn't happen and one can only assume that a higher authority has a plan that needed a brave man to help. I can not tell how strongly I feel about those individuals that served their country as your cousin did. Your family must be very proud.
