Thank you for your service to our country. You are a very brave soldier that did his country well. God bless you and keep you in his loving tender arms. Prayers and thoughts go to your family. Love to all.

As a parent, I can not imagine the worries of knowing my child is in harm's way in a foreign country, so far from home. To have the worst happen has to be unimaginable pain and loss.
