Please accept my condolences on your loss.
There are many people we meet in life some accomplish great things; but of all that can proudly be called a hero, there is none greater than the person who serves their country to protect our freedoms and our way of life.
How fortunate for all of us that while we rest and sleep some brave service member risks it all so we can sleep in peace.
Your love one’s watch is over, may they rest in the arms of God.
