SINCE THE YEAR 2019 I HAVE DONE SOME KIND OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TO REMEMBER DAWSON, BUT I WASN'T ALONE. I'VE INVITED OTHERS TO REMEMBER THE SACRIFICE THAT DAWSON AND MANY OTHER SERVICE MEMBERS HAVE GIVEN FOR US TO BE ABLE TO LIVE THE WAY WE LIVE. NOW I INVITE ANYONE AND EVERYONE THAT'S READING THIS TO JOIN IN TO HONOR DAWSON'S SACRIFICE AND TO REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THEM. RIP DOC
