Snowy Owl taught me, guided me, and trained me. What I owe to him. What more can I say? I grew up in his shadow, too. He taught me honor, selflessness, and the true meaning of the word 'hero.' … I'm the sum of so many people who have influenced me, shaped my thinking, and given me love. It's forever locked in my heart and in my soul. Snowy Owl, you took in a young, frightened boy. And you showed him how to become a good man, it's so funny. I spent the better part of last year fighting to forget what made me me. I almost alienated everyone, but you stuck by me and I thank you for that. I gave up being a helpless boy because that tied me to Snowy Owl. But now I become someone new who commemorates all those who made me someone special."
