That is the same school Ronnie graduated from in 1997 (with my brother Matt). In less than a month I will be leaving for West Point. This evening was Chaminade's sports awards dinner, where I met and spoke with Mrs. Winchester. I expressed my deepest sympathies and also that I would be attending West Point in the next month. She gave me a bracelet with Ronnie's name on it and told me to wear it with pride and think of him for strength. I can't begin to explain the respect I have for the true amercian hero Ronnie Winchester. I will never forget the ultimate sacrifice you made for all of us. God Bless you Ronnie. I will never forget."
