​
To My RED DEVIL BROTHERS,

As we approach the 31st anniversary of Operation: JUST CAUSE, I suspect your thoughts, prayers and memories of SGT Michael Deblois and PFC Troy Coats become a bit more frequent and like me, always ending in sadness and "what ifs?".
Many of you will also remember the loss of PFC Timothy J. Uderitz (22) on 9 Jan 1991,  during one of our many night airborne operations at Gatun DZ; acting as yet another vivid reminder of the cost of FREEDOM.
I am comforted knowing that the surviving Panama RED DEVILS will always LOVE & RESPECT our RED DEVIL BROTHERS as evidenced by your continuing efforts to communicate, linkup, attend reunions and care for each other. GOD BLESS YOU.
     My 2020 Christmas wish and prayer to our Heavenly Father is that the citizens of this great nation will regain their love and respect for America and serve her in some loyal and devoted manner as each of YOU have. 
At 72 years old, my fondest life memories are being a part of the RED DEVIL FAMILY....
I LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU....
RED DEVIL....
