Officer Feld,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just Ike to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country-not just as an Immigration Officer but also when you served with the U.S. Navy-especially during World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
