My name is Katie. I work at Texas Roadhouse and was serving the night we held the fundraiser for this documentary. I truly am sorry for your loss. Obviously, he was loved by many and is terribly missed. I watched the videos on your website and just couldn't stop the tears from running down my face. I can't even imagine what your family has been through. I do, however, know how it felt while he was overseas. My father just came home from his 3rd tour in Iraq and worked alot with the Iraqi Air Force. Know that your son is not only a hero to Americans, but he is also a hero in Iraq. They are all extrememly grateful for everything our men and women have sacrificed to help better their country (and ours). It was such an honor helping to raise money for your sons documentary. My heart goes out to each and every one of you (especially his daughter). Your son is a TRUE HERO and will never be forgotten. God bless you all.

Sincerely,
Texas Roadhouse (server)
