Don was a great co-worker and friend at the VA. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. He was always helpful and so funny. He will be greatly missed.
Rest Donald, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God.
Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Army, Vietnam, and U.S. Air Force Reserves, 28 years of service.
