Just wanted to give you all an update. This past summer I took Brian on a geneology trip all over. I had found several people, that we were able to meet, that had known John, had pictures of John and could tell us stories about John. Even some people who served back then. It has been an amazing journey and wanted to say thank you to a lot of you on here for your help. Words can't describe how we felt when meeting these servicemen, a lost family member and seeing the military thru John's eyes. We have seen many pictures, heard many stories and realized why he loved what he did. There is never a replacement for a parent, but doing all this has made Brian feel like he knew his dad even though he was 3 when he died. We have made such lifelong friends during this and feel like each of you are family. God Bless each of you for what you have done for us, what you have done for our country and what your loved ones also sacrificed for us. If we can ever repay any of you, all you have to do is ask. We are there for you.
Brian & Sandy Brace
PS I would love for someone to give me Pete Fischers address, phone or email if you have it. :)
