There will always be one very special, very large place in my heart for Jay. He was charming, caring and quite a character. Laughter was always his medicine. So close to the end of his tour of duty, we thought we had our whole lives ahead of us. How cruel this war was to take so many wonderful young men. My visit to the Wall was overwhelming and can never be forgotten. Just like Jay.
