from Marina A. Castro, Houston, Texas

My father was KIA June 2nd 1953. He was in U.S. Army, Company F, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. I was only 22 days old at the time of his death and my life and my mothers life has never been the same since that day in June. I will forever feel the emptiness of not having a Father in my life and now not having a Grandfather for my children. Although I never met you Dad, I will always be your little girl and I will always love you. May God bless everyone who served and everyone who like me still lives with the pain of loosing someone you love.
