As a combat Marine in Vietnam, I'm less than you were and are. May your family honor your spirit and know that they had raised and nutured a wonderful man. May we, as citizens, understand the sacrifice and the desire you gave in service to our country. I will never allow, in my humble way, your courage and duty be forgotten or lessened.

There are no words to express the gratitude I have for the heros that work so hard for so little thanks. God bless you Travis. And God bless your family. They deserve both the credit for raising such a fine young man, as well as our most heartfelt, deepest condolences. My 3 boys and I will pray for you this evening. And I will tell them the story of Travis Manion. Those of us who live our quiet comfortable lives back home owe more than we can ever repay to the young men and women like Travis Manion.
