On Friday afternoon December 4th, approximately 75 volunteers gathered once again in Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg.

The reverend Lou Nyiri of Gettysburg Presbyterian Church spoke in a brief opening ceremony. Lou recalled our first meeting almost four years earlier after Eric's death. Since that time Lou has always been there when called upon and for that Susan and I are eternally grateful. Also on hand once again were members of Gettysburg High School J.R.O.T.C.
