He lives on through myself and the rest of our family. I miss him dearly but, as he said..."I'm ready to fight for my country"...that he was. I continue to be very proud of his COURAGE. Derek...I Love you and even though you went to be with The Lord before my children were born...they'll be sure to know who their BRAVE cousin was...
