Today, my heart is heavy because I am saying goodbye to a wonderful friend. We sure had a lot of good laughs along the way. I only knew you for a few short years but I sure am left with lots of good memories. May you rest peacefully in God's loving arms.

I am sorry for what I am bout to say. But I do NOT think George deserves to get ANY Military Honors. He MURDERED Phyllis Thrasher 35 years ago, he deserves nothing. He should have spent LIFE IN PRISON! He didn't deserve ANYTHING he earned! I am sorry for his family, but this guy does not deserve ANYTHING!
