Nick,
When you told us you were joining the Army, we thought you had the determination to make it. We know how hard you worked and how proud you were to be in the U.S. Army! Your letters meant a lot to us because we knew it wasn't an easy place to be, but you kept on doing what needed to be done. Our love and prayers are with you and your family and especially your dad and mom and brothers. The whole Idalski family is very proud of you and we will never forget the beautiful tribute the town of Crown Point and the United States of America paid to you for your loss and for your service to this great country of ours. We will always love you! Aunt Carol and Uncle Ray Idalski family
