This is why I do what I do:

This is the webmaster, 'Robert Clark' giving his business card to the daughter of Thomas Gibbons. Her face was blurred to maintain her anonymity.

This little girl, approximately 5 years old, came to me as I presented the 'Tags of the First Fallen" to the regiment. In the picture, you can see a gold Star Flag, bearing the named of the Fallen. She walked boldly up to the table and ran three tiny fingers under the name Thomas Gibbons. I asked her "Is that your daddy?" to which she nodded. I knelt down and gave her my card and told her to give it to her family, and that I was theirs for life.

She put the card in her middle overalls pocket and walked away. This was the defining moment in my life when I trully felt the need to serve these families fulltime.

Thank You, Ms. Gibbons.
