I never had the honor to meet Mr. Kauder but I wish i had as I knew his daughter for a long time. I know that he had to have been a very special man as his daughter Rae is one of the most thoughtful and caring people I have ever known. I am sure that his wife and he are looking down from heaven and feeling complete that they lived a full life and raised such a good person in their daughter and that is as much as any person can wish for in life. Thank You for your service to the United States of America sir and Gods Speed to you .
