Gary,
Yesterday was Memorial Day. I think of your everyday.  I miss you everyday.  I thank God for you and for the life you lived and the joy you gave to me and to each person you interacted with.  But yesterday I thought of you-- The Marine, The Soldier, the ultimate sacrifice you gave to our country.  You loved this country, you were genuinely patriotic and so proud to serve.  We are honored, this entire Nation, your family, your friends who love you dearly, are honored and humbled by the years of service and the passion and dedication you served with until the last moment.   And now you live on, in another form, but just as much in my heart and each day in my memory. 
Thank you, Gary, for loving our country, for loving what you did, for protecting our freedom and serving with such honor. I am so proud to know you, Major Gary Robert Fullerton USMC.

So many times i try to wright about Gary, and it is just too hard. Especially this week as it is the anniversary of his Death.
I have to say a big thank you to all of you who thought of Gary this week. So many of you called to let me know that you were thinking about him, and i can't begin to tell you how much this meant to me. Graham took the day off to so we could be together, and the first thing we did was go to Starbucks for a coffee, I had Gary's favourite a caffe-mocha.
Please remember i love to hear from all of you, especially about Gary, it may make me cry, but that's OK.
We will never forget!!!!!
