Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the family of Sgt. Willett. We share in your grief as we also lost our beloved hero, Sgt Christopher Sanders, January 9th, 2008. It is a pain we all hope to never experience. Our children will forever be American Heroes and we will never let their sacrifices be forgotten. With shared grief, Kelly and Marie Sanders
