I'm so sorry. Bill, please accept my condolences on the passing of your
father. As you say, William L. Phillips lived a full life. The world is
a poorer place for his death, but it is a richer place for his life.

Thanks Kevin. This, from a man like you who has been a true warrior
himself for most of his life, really has a lot of meaning to me. I
hope one day that I can be privileged enough to meet you.

I appreciate all the posts that all of you, my friends, have made in
this thread. I will save it for the rest of my life. Many of you,
like Kevin are great patriots like my dad was and have given much more
than your share to keep out great country what it is.

The protection of America and the love of the United States runs deep
in my red-blood, my brother and my mother-and the red blood of every
one of my relatives,. I will not say anything about it now but I will
tell you what I'm doing at a later date to protect our borders from
terrorists. I'm in one of the finest projects I've been involved in
for years. I don't even have the time to read RAH but once a week-or
less. Can you imagine that?
