    first, I would like to thank Master Srgt. Childs for his many years of service to our country and being the man to his community and his family… Also, I must say that I have never had the experience to see how the military support the family of a lost soldier until now.. I commend the soldiers of the Untied States Army the supported, escorted and comforted my family… Thanks to you all but especially Officer Mitchell, you left me highly impressed…
