In Memory Of for Alvin J. Fowler Jr., United States Military, Born 11/30/28, Passed On 11/23/05, Honored by St. Peter's Cemetery

Dad, not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, miss you, and wish I could tell you one more time how much I love you. Today, on Veterans Day, my heart swells with pride and gratitude for the brave man you were; not only as my father, but as a hero who served our country with courage, honor, and sacrifice. Your strength, your values, and your love still guide me every single day. I hope you know how proud I am to be your daughter and how deeply grateful I am for all you gave; for our family and for our freedom. I love you, Dad. I miss you more than words can ever say.
