"To all the troops that have lost their lives while trying to save ours. We love You! To all the families who have lost The Brave, were praying for you.
While continuing to strive for the lives of others, their precious lives were taken. They were stripped from family, friends, and a nation of many that love, support, and offer their gratitude. Their many deeds and thoughtless acts of heroism, while being faced with the uncertainty of ones own life; will never be forgotten. They were exposed continually for their poise, dignity, solidity, and representation of America. By way of character, America's representatives, showed great poise, dignity, solidity, heart, and honor. As they answered their call of duty, they exposed us to their greatness of being mere men.To America's Troops! We Salute You. We Salute You! We Salute You!! Always Remembered, Never Forgotten. Memorial Day 2010."

"For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me."

1 Samuel 8:20 KJV
"Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours,
Lying so silent by night and by day
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Give them the meed they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their future forcast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life."
