May family and friends find strength in acknowledgement that Paul Rettig, having served this nation honorably, was willing to sacrifice all that another might taste or maintain liberty and stood courageously where few dared tread and for such dedication to nation, duty, and service rendered, is so remembered and honored among patriots. Please accept my sincere condolences.
