Dear Phil, You never knew me, but i am your great niece. I have met your wife and daughters, and liked them a lot. You are a hero, and I wish I could have known you. My mom, Shelley, always talks about how great you were, and the great things you did. She told me how your dream was to be a career military officer, but that dream was cut short due to the fact you sacrificed your ability to walk for your comrades well being. I plan to join the military when I grow up, probably the Marines, and so I want to attend the U.S. Naval Academy. Yes, I know they are Army's rival, but my dream is to be a Marine like granddaddy Harper, Uncle Scott, and Papa Steve. You are my inspiration, and I want to thank you for your service to the country, but also for being such a good Uncle to my mother. I know she loved you very much. God Bless you and your family, and may you rest in peace. |
