Davie, you live as my inspiration to pick up where you left off.
I saw you last as a childhood friend; the same dimpled faced smiling that I immediately recognized 30 years later in this photograph. You gave your life serving your wounded brothers in a medical evac mission. While you answered a higher call, gained admission and graduation from Annapolis and served your country in Active Duty I became a Board Certified General Surgeon, 20 years now in private practice. You anonymously served me and my family through an Active Duty and Reserve career.
Last year, I left private practice to enlist in the Medical Corps, U.S. Army. They have given me Lt. Col. rank and today I am admitted to the Medical Staff at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I will be taking care of injured soldiers and the surgical needs of their families. I will deploy overseas to combat areas to care for our brethern. I will always be sustained by your sacrifice.
