Norman, my brother in law, and a fellow veteran was someone I looked up to. Although we were servicemen in different conflicts we had a common bond. Service to our country! Thinking back on my combat experiences, I am reminded how little value is placed on life in both Korea and Vietnam. Yet, here in the USA it means everything and when a life is extinguished, we grieve for that person. Your family will miss you, Norm! I stand and salute you ! Your battle is over. Rest peacefully my friend. Tom Bach
To my dad,
You will always be my night in shining armor.
You were always by my side either good or bad and taught me to always be strong no matter what life through my way.
I will miss you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Your loving daughter,
Sany Sandy
