One birthday when I was very young, I pleaded for a camouflage helicopter to go with my military camp setup, but to my disappointment everyone got me girly things. That is...everyone, except him. I could hardly contain my excitement when I opened his present. Just one special moment out of thousands... I still miss him so very much. My brother grew up to be an honerable man. Not many knew him, but those of us who did will never forget him.
