Thank you for all the work you do to honor and remember the men and women who sacrfice for our country. We owe them so much.
Words cannot bring back the lives of all the fallen. My heart swells with sadness for the families, the troops, the friends whenever I read the numerous tributes.
Our daughter, she is enlisting, she is so gung-ho and wants to make a difference. I have never seen someone more determined, more patriotic than her. I'm proud of her, she loves her country. She loves her freedoms. She is a mere 17 right now but much braver than myself.
I can only imagine that all these young soldiers felt the same, had that same fire in their hearts. God Bless them all!
Thank you for your tributes.
Thank you for keeping us abreast of the brave young men and women who serve our country. Thanks for visitin my blog - come back soon.

Those bastards connot face us they have to use roadside bombs to kill. What a bunch of cowards!

Brennan I will always remember your smile and your laughter! You were more than a friend to me growing up you were like a brother! I love you and am so blessed to have known you through Highschool and then off to college. My heart goes out to your wife and son. I found out a few months after your funeral and I couldn't stop crying. I spent many hours telling my husband stories about you! It brings me much peace knowing you are watching over all of us...we are in good hands indeed.
