A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE JUST RECENTLY LOST HER SON.  HE WAS 21 YRS OLD & A MARINE.  MY OLDEST BOY IS ALSO 21 & LOOKING AT JOINING THE MARINES.  HE FOUND THIS SOMEWHERE & EMAILED IT TO ME.  I DON'T KNOW WHO WROTE IT BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTHY OF SHARING WITH EVERYONE HERE.

MAY WE ALL REMEMBER THOSE WHO HAVE LOST A LOVED ONE OR CURRENTLY HAVE A LOVED ONE SERVING IN THE ARMED FORCES.

REST IN PEACE

Thank you for sharing. We lost a good friend of ours during my Husband's first tour in Iraq, and also this past Monday a SGT with my Hubby's new National Guard unit. This man he only met once, as this weekend is his 2nd drill for NG, but its still awful to lose another soldier! 

They are never forgotten, God has a special place for soldiers right next to Him!
