This is a letter from my soldier; While at BAF we watched a Fallen Comrade ceremony…the street was lined with warriors from every branch of the service…the weather was chilly and dark…and then came the open-ended humvee with the flag draped casket in the back. We watched as someone’s son, brother, father, husband made there way towards eternity…the emotions are hard to contain and it was so moving to see everyone out there, standing in solidarity, in the cold saluting as the fallen hero passed. Not a word was said…just the silence of angels welcoming home a brave soul who gave his all for the freedom that so many enjoy. Another Gold Star banner to be hung in the home of a great American family…Another flag that will be folded and presented to those he left behind…Another champion of the helpless welcomed by the Lord on this solemn day…
God Bless the families of those who give their sons and daughters for the great cause of freedom…may their memory forever be etched on the faces of
