Sgt Ezra Dawson is my brother and he will always be in my heart. In life he helped me to believe in myself. Even though he was my younger brother, He has always been an hero to me. I am very proud of him and the time he spent with myself, our mother, my sisters and our children.
I am currently in the process of starting a foundation to continue honoring my brothers legacy. He touched alot of lives and will continue to do so even though he is no longer in his physical form. Ezra will continue to support me in spirit. I am truly thankful for Ezra and I appreciate the kind words I have received from all over.
