I have to say i didn’t know your story. I was surfing the web for info on your brother Herman and i came across that you are his brother. Sad over Herman passingin 1999 and then seeing your story it truly touched my heart. Being a Christian myself i undertstand your strength. I now want to see the movie or read the book of your story. Just seeing the video clips has touch me deeply. God bless you both and the rest of your family. I am a great big fan of Hawaii 5-0. As a matter of fact i am watching it now. Herman has come across the tv as the man i thought he was and as i read his story i was right. He was such a noble person. You both are such great people. And your wife Lucy .. God bless her and your kids. Well.. thank u for what u do. And i will get the book and read it. I’m sure i will cry as i read it. Just watching these small clips brought tear to my eyes. My name is Pat and i’m from Cuba… Guantanamo Bay Cuba and I will keep u all in my prayers. Aloha
