I live in Burnet, she is a small town about 3500 people. If someone wants me to get a personal message or something to the Holbrooks I'll be more the willing. Just send me a email.

Greatest Sacrifice

Sad to read of the passing of two more fine soldiers. May their families know what they achieved in such a short number of years.
