To whom it may concern:

From: daughter of Ross R. Condit, Jr. Brigadier General

While looking up my father on Arlington National Cemetery Website, I found my name and names of my children missing.

I was not raised with my father due to World War II. He kept in contact with me in my adult years via letters.  His wife did not inform me of his death until after the funeral. I have always been proud of his contribution to our country even though it meant I was not raised with him. He did love me and met my daughter and was proud of my Navy Seal son.

What do I need to do to add my name Patricia C. Condit Theonnes,the loving daughter of Ross R. Condit, Jr. Brigadier General, of the United States Army, and my children added to the website?

Loving father of Patricia C. Condit Theonnes, Stayton, Oregon; and grandfather of Cheryl and Eric.

 Thank you for your consideration of my request.
