Paul is my Nephew, he is missed very much by all that knew him
Anniversaries of losing a loved one are never easy. Such a brave young man to have served and died for his country. May he rest peacefully with all his comrades who so sadly gave their lives also.
This is my shield. I bear it before me into battle, but it is not mine alone. It protects my brother on my left. It protects my city. I will never let my brother out of its shadow, nor my city out of its shelter. I will die with my shield before me facing the enemy.
