God keep them with him.
So tragic, so unnecessary--can't let it go by the board--an investigation has to be kept to the forefront. Prayers for the families-always. Such brave and committed men.
Thanks Twanna. Tears are in my eyes. God bless them and may God keep their families in His hands.
So very moving. Thanks for reminding us of our heroes. God be with their families.
Be still- and listen --in the silence -- and a calming wind -softly I hear "Taps" playing for the brave-followed by the theme song from "We were soldiers once ..."
I hope they are never forgotten. It is up to those of us here to keep their memories alive.
