Darrell, I didn\'t know about you until I was 21 years old. Or, as most parents would say old enough to know better. I found out that you were a man of great courage who had desire and strength to protect others. I wish that we knew each other when you were with us. I feel that you are with me at bad times and I see your face through my children\'s eyes. I wish that I had more of your family\'s information to know more about the father I never knew. You have 3 beautiful grandchildren, 2 boys and 1 little princess that we call \"sassy\". I love you and you rest in peace sir! Your son, Jeremy Rogers
