A good friend/co-worker of mine lost her 21 year-old son last Saturday. He was shot in the head while serving in the Marines in Iraq. I didn't know what to say to her other than offer my condolences. May he rest in peace and may God watch over her and her family.

If any of you are in the military or have family/spouses that are.....God bless you!

Oh no...that is so sad.

I send prayers to her and her family.

My nephew is coming home 12/5 for 15 days R&R so we are planning an early Christmas before he has to go back.

This hits close to home as my DSS (dear stepson) is about to be deployed overseas - yep, to Iraq. Thankfully he got some leave and was home 2 weeks ago - we did our Thanksgiving dinner then.

I feel for your Marine's family! I'm sure it's hard to feel thankful under the circumstances. The only consolation that I would be able to muster would be knowing that my DSS CHOSE to serve his country and was doing what he wanted to do....

My best wishes and most heartfelt condolences to them.

Our thoughts and prayers

are with the family

The Fallen Soldier

In the midst of hate and anger, soldiers strive to maintain peace,
and often ask the burning question, "Will this conflict ever cease?"
"Will I ever make a difference, will my efforts change a life?"
"Will there always be injustice, hate and anger, war and strife?"

Hatred fueled an evil plan,
and so an ugly war began.
Valiant men and women died-
Grieving loved ones mourned and cried.

In a country, torn by war,
a soldier showed what he stood for.
He lived his life as he believed-
Reaching out to those in need.

In a war torn ravaged land,
he saw the pain and took a stand.
He showed the world what love could do,
and changed the lives of those he knew.

This brave young man was killed one day,
in a country far away.
The fallen soldier fights no more,
but, loved ones know what he stood for.

They know the difference that he made,
the deep-felt message he conveyed.
Those who loved and knew him well,
have heroic tales to tell.

The fallen soldier now is gone-
But, words and deeds will still live on.
Let us pray that peace will be,
the fallen soldier's legacy.
