"Stand down soldier, your mission is now complete, may you rest in Honored Eternal Peace."

'We knew you for only a short time but we will never forget you. You gave your youth, your life, all that you had for your country. We can do no less in return than to preserve the memory of that sacrifice so that it will not be in vain. We pledge to do what ever we can to see to it that your loss will be counted among the last sacrifices that must be made for our Freedom. Till we meet again at roll call on the last firebase.'

"No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation."- Douglas MacArthur

"I was born an American; I will live an American; I shall die an American."
Daniel Webster (1782 - 1852)

"In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons."
Herodotus

"And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died. Who gave that right to me."
Lee Greenwood

God please take care of our Heroes in Afganistan, Iraq or where ever they are. Watch over them and protect them during this time of danger. Bring them home safely away from harm's way.

A Mother asked President Bush, "Why did my Child have to die in Afghanistan?" Another Mother asked President Kennedy,"Why did my Child have to die in Vietnam?" Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms.
