- It is important that we never forget the courage, strength and sacrifice those have made before us to ensure we can live free as Americans. This website plays an important role in helping achieve remembrance of these great men and women. I didn't know my grandfather, Leonard J. Boteler that well due to my father being a soldier and our family constantly moving around the world. Once I was able to spend more time with him it was cut short due to his passing. This website helps me put not just a face to the man I didn't know, but character, reason, and understanding as well. Let us also not forget the wives and husbands of these soldiers for their sacrifices made here at home. Thank you Rob for all your help! God Bless!
