When I think about my early childhood and even my teenage years there are a lot of memories that include Uncle Sam. One thing that always comes to mind is his willingness to help and protect others. He protected his nieces and nephews as his own. He never once questioned why we were where we were, he would just show up. I love you Uncle Sam and I will miss you. Love your Nephew, Rusty!
