Thanks for the kind words. My heart goes out to Mrs. Dunkleberger and the children. It's tough enough to lose a spouse and a father but really hard at this time of the year.

New Bloomfield is in shock as is Perry county. New Bloomfield is a small town, our county seat, and now has lost another son to the war on terror. From now on when I see the statue of the soldier in the town square it will have a special meaning to me.
