I will miss Jens...he did more for America then most Americans themselves want to do. He was a German born citizen, and got his American citizenship due to his service in the military. He loved being a Tanker. He sent me these pictures and I want people to be able to put a face to a name....the dead are only truly dead the day they are forgotten.
