Curt, Alex, Gary,Gabe & Nicole and the entire Zwilling family,
I cannot say it in words, but I am so sorry for this.
I never had the chance to meet Gunnar, but he must have been a wonderful young man.
Anyone who thinks more of their country then of themselves is a hero in my eyes. Curt I will be praying for you and your health.
Love to all of you, Sonia (Hicks) Danback

To the man who died for the rest of the country as well as myself I thank you. It takes a true man to do what you have done and we honor your bravery everytime we stare in to the red white and blue of a flag. I pray for you and your family and know that you are in a better place right now. I can not thank god enough for the time I spent with you and the memories you helped me make during highschool. Your bravery and honor will forever remain. God bless you and your family.
