It was so sad to hear about Danes passing. I remember back in Highschool, all he wanted was to join the military. He was so excited to go serve. He really was a great guy and he will be missed. God bless

My Dane-Dane. You brave, galant soul. Your bravery, honor and dedication is only equivocated by your big heart. You chose the path that is high, distinctly ignoring the low road. Such a big heart in a young spirit. You loved your country, not the ideals of politicians, but your country and you took every thing you had and with a smile, gave it up to her. God sent his only begoten son to this Earth and he freely gave all in him that was good and righteous, for all, whether deserving or not. To follow in Jesus's actions and deeds gives hope in the faithful. I thank you Dane. I LOVE YOU AND I AM VERY PROUD OF THE FINE MAN YOU TURN OUT TO BE. I will keep you in my heart always......PJ
