I do hope Shawn's family will read this. We live locally and attended Shawn's funeral. At the end of the school year my 5th grade, 11 year old, son brought home art projects completed throughout the school year. One of these projects is a paper mache soldier standing at attention and saluting. At the base of this sculpture is written: "In memory of Shawn Falter". I asked my son if each classmate made a project honoring Shawn and he said no, that it was his idea. This sculpture is proudly displayed in our livingroom. I am blessed that my son recognizes Shawn's sacrifice. And, I am blessed to know that courageous, honorable, men and women, like Shawn, protect us, and those who cannot protect themselves.
