"The letter sat on the dresser for four years.Soldiers' Angels Germany: "Dear Dad, I'm sorry if you're reading this . . . "
Robert Gilbert never opened it. He only touched the envelope when he needed to dust around it. He wanted to give it back to his son unopened.
Every time his Marine son was deployed, his son would ask, "You still got my letter?"
His dad never wanted to read what was inside an envelope marked: "Dad, open this if I am wounded. Love, Robert."
Here come the good guys!

Sad looong time. Thankful too, for such fine men and women who serve our country and their families.
I cried Kanani. Thanks for posting this.
I think we all cried. There is just so much tragedy.
