It is with a grateful yet heavy heart that I wish you sincere condolences in the passing of Retired Sgt. Maj. Sorenson. His service to our nation in keeping the rest of us free does not go unnoticed. It is all the more hard, to know that his loving wife passed so soon to him. We acknowledge that there were no doubt sacrifices endured by Sgt. Maj. Sorenson, his wife, family and loved ones in all you have done to uphold the legacy of freedom for our nation. Eternal Thanks. God Speed.
