Receiving his First Purple Heart from (OJC)	Graduated from 91-W MOS	Iraq deployment of OIF

Dear Rudy and Operation Valor,

I really want to say thank you for all the time and consideration that you and everyone with “Operation Valor” have put into this hunt. You have no idea how much this means to my husband.  I apologize for this taking so long to get back to you and to tell you a little bit about Luke.  Luke has TBI that affects his memory, we have been working on it and I was hoping that he would not forget to give you the pictures.  He really had trouble with working the scanner so I finally decided that I would send you the pictures.  I want to tell you a little bit about what happened to him, because I know that he would just say “I was in the Army”.  I have been married to Luke for 25 years, so I have been with him through the thick and the thin of it all.
