Roger was such a gentle soul who loved his family, friends and country. His loss has forever changed all of us who knew and loved him. several years ago I honored his memory by having a tattoo put on my arm and when asked by people about it I share his story. He will always be my hero. My youngest son even gave his son his middle name in his honor even though he never got the pleasure of knowing his cousin he is a hero to him also.
