Dear Barb, Susan and I send our sincere sympathy to you at this time of reflection. Your news of Don’s passing caused many memories of being with you and Don, often times at Videojet functions. The most dominant recollection was how right each of you felt about each other. Don had the natural countenance of a true gentle giant…a person who was easy to meet and be with. And of course, once I thought about you and Videojet, my memory links started to work. Thanks for “bringing Don to theParty.” With Best Wishes. Hank and Susan PS We’re both very active and involved in singing groups. I’m taking art classes. Hank

Let me introduce myself, my name is Kathy Denton. Don and I met while I was volunteering for Honor Flight, and over the years, he became more than just a fellow volunteer �" he became my inspiration and my friend. Don had this incredible capacity for compassion. I remember him pushing other veterans to the memorials on the trips we made together for Honor Flight. He approached every task, no matter how small, with enthusiasm and dedication. Don believed that every act of kindness, no matter how small, could change the world. He carried this spirit in his role as Santa Claus for the town of Jonesborough. Don, we will miss your gentle spirit, your unwavering commitment, and your ability to see the best in every creature �" human or animal. Thank you for showing us the true meaning of selflessness and compassion. Your legacy of kindness will continue in all the lives you have touched. I would like at this time to pay a final tribute to my friend and Veteran - Donald L. Knight. Many times, our veterans are taken for granted. For the dozens of freedoms that we ordinary citizens have enjoyed every single day of our lives in America, we are grateful to you. We hardly ever stop to even consider the sacrifices they made in far away places, with scant comfort, if there is any at all, and yet you did not complain. They just continued to serve and give and demonstrate genuine love for us every day. Day in and day out; in danger; in fatigue; in strange places all over the world. We are more indebted to you than we will ever even comprehend. And it is also true that unless one has been in battle, one does not utterly understand the depth of your passion for liberty. Don stood true to the role that our veterans played. They served and fought for the greatest Nation in the history of civilization. There has never been a grievous wrong that good Americans have not sought to rectify. There has never been a just cause on which America has turned her back for long. Our soldiers have been and continue to be, the greatest force for freedom and human rights ever gathered. You have raised our flag around the world, not for domination, but to bring greater liberty and a better way of life. You are the reason America remains a beacon of hope to the entire world. You seek neither glory nor riches, nor even fame. You are our best, our brightest, our bravest. Please always know that even when we do not show it, we love you. We appreciate you. We thank you. And we will never forget you or forsake you. From the days of the Revolutionary War through the two World Wars of the 20th century and the regional conflicts of the 21st, our veterans have stood on the front lines to preserve all of the freedoms that the United States of America enjoys. As a result, every veteran deserves our gratitude and help. Rest in peace Don, you will be missed. You are the silent soldier that fought the good fight. Thank you for your service to our country.
