Mr. Harley,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during WW II especially at Pearl Harbor and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. You and your fellow servicemen were the first to stand up to the Japanese in their sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
