Family of Carl E. Sutton Jr.,

I am so sorry to say that I did not know your Carl, but I did read that he was a veteran of the Vietnam War...and we Vietnam veterans have a special bond with one another. There is no greater honor than to serve your country at a time of war. He made many sacrifices, I know, and I want to say THANK YOU for serving our country when our country called on you. I salute you Brother Carl.

We come not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them -Francis Walker-

May you all find comfort in knowing that there are others who share in your loss. May your memories soothe you, your friends comfort you, and your family's strength help your hearts begin to heal. May the love you shared sustain you through this time of sorrow. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
