Caption for the President Clinton Photo: Although I never knew you as I wish I could have, you are always in my thoughts. I have always tried to do the things in the military that I thought would have made you proud of me. For me you are my unspoken hero. You are my link to a country that I long to visit. I long to visit the place where you spent your last moments. I have seen your pictures and I think and wonder what kind of soldier you were. I wished you could have been around to share your experiences over there. I would have loved to heard your stories about that country. Always know, I Love You and miss you. Teenie's Boy, Shannon, He is my Uncle.
A fan of his Mother, Etta Baker. So young you were to die, a tragic loss. Now your Mom has met you in heaven and you can comfort each other. Clark Breen, 19838 Valentine Road, Kemp, Texas 75143.
