Mr. Santoni,

Thank you for your service to our country! I only just now saw and read your comment.

Here’s the actual radio clip of Medved’s letter reading:

“Joseph E. Santoni (I am doubtful that I have this right; but from listening, it’s the closest I could make out; if anyone knows better, please let me know) is one of the 58,000 names on the Wall in Washington. He died less than a year after writing these words.”

I awakened one night, With CNN on the screen, and saw MY name on the wall. For years I had nightmares.

I am from N.Y., but grew up in NJ.

My name is “Joseph E Santoni”

When I finally grew the ba_ls to visit the wall, I saw Santori’s name,but, It still feels strange.

Now I stumble on this and it re-awakens those feelings.
