Title: This Holiday Season
Post by midwestbeth on Dec 18^th, 2007, 12:57pm

Let's not forget the soldiers and families of those soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Two families will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I arrived at work today and found out the son of a long time customer and friend was killed in Iraq on Saturday. :'( As a father and former soldier himself, Dave was so proud of his son, Austin. Austin would have turned 23 tomorrow. :'( :'( :'(

Pfc Ryan Garbs played baseball and graduated highschool with my son, Chris. All Ryan ever wanted to be was an Army Ranger.

I helped display and hand out flags on the side of the road for his funeral procession. His funeral was led by the Patriot Guard (Thank You) I will never forget seeing and hearing all the roaring motorcycles as they drove by. :'( :'( :'(

In my thoughts too. :'(

Fortunately, my neighbor's kid is on his way how in time for New Years and then a rather short final tour afterwards, I am told. He's a good kid.

My deepest condolences and gratitude to the families of these two young men. I think it was Thomas Jefferson who said that the Tree of Liberty must be watered by the blood of patriots. I know I didn't quote that correctly, and I will not be offended if someone corrects it.

Jonny, thank you for that link.

God bless our kids who are willing to lay it on the line.
