The story about Lt. Chaplin Elzer Tetreau serving our nation during WWI was a fascinating reminder of the sacrifices our forefathers made for our freedoms. I have been fortunate to visit some of the WWI battlefields and cemeteries for combatants from that time and the size, number, serenity and beauty of these burial places is stunning. I am also privileged to know Dirck Schou and now understand the gift of good character, courage and patriotism that was passed down to him. You will not meet a more humble and common sense individual anywhere. Tucson is fortunate to have Dirck and his family living here with us in Tucson. Thank your for the story.
