and I hope he didn't die in vain... #429071

geeez robert it would depend on your own politics I guess.he knew his cost might be very high,yet at such a young age did he understand fully why?his family was behind him 100%.but yet don't understand the day after his death are we any better off?and they are sickened that many more will follow and for what.i wish I didn't know this family,but if it wasn't them it would be someone else.i see these people at least once a week and I believe they are becoming bitter.
from honor and glory to what is the real story.

This picture touched me, Sam. Such a great sacrifice. I suppose the main thing is that the soldier did what he felt was right and that's the most important thing, not what others think or say. You must follow your heart.

Sam,
This is a tough one!!
An encased triangular flag hangs on my wall. The suffering of our family from his loss has been gigantic.
However as a veteran I put my life up to be put on the line, if need be, and would do it again.
War always has many, many losers and few, if any, winners. Yet men do things like (9/11, Hitlers, ad infinitum). Our obligations are solemn in those times.
Thanks for sharing this.
I look forward to the Prince of Peace!

at this time in societies life,i think no loss should be forgivable.
I grieve your loss and believe none should be sacrificed.
talk to your neighbors.do we hate these people.no
do we want to rule these people,no.our goverment is not of us.
more of a corporate nature.a controlling nature.not the general public.not you and me.yet it is our families who sacrifice.
we should fight no more for them.
only we can be the saviors of our children.i guess we'll see.
