    best of hands, now and forever. Carry on as he would have wanted you to.

    I wish you strength, good courage, and peace.

    I am stunned and saddened to hear of your loss. As a retired soldier myself, I truly believe your son is a hero to your family, to his fellow soldiers, to our nation, and to me.

    Day is done
    Gone the sun
    From the lakes
    From the hills
    From the sky

    All is well,
    safely rest.
    God is nigh.

    Fading light
    Dims the sight
    And a star
    Gems the sky,
    Gleaning bright

    From afar,
    Drawing nigh,
    Falls the night.

    Thanks and praise,
    For our days,
    Neath the sun,
    Neath the stars,
    Neath the sky,

    As we go,
    This we know,
    God is nigh.

    Kory, my words cannot express my GREATFUL THANKS to your
    and your family for Michael's service to his COUNTRY. May GOD
    almighty receive him with his everlasting LOVE. May you and
    your family be comforted in your time of LOSS. You will one day be
    together again, scripture says our lives are but a Vapor in GOD's
    timetable. So keep him in all your everyday thoughts.

    4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."
    Mike.




    Someday REAL American HERO's will be on our COINS.

    OMG - there is no way that I can feel your pain and sorrow. What a wonderful American he was to give his life for his country .... I know that is not much consolation to you now, but someday it will be.

    My brother lost his son on Valentine's Day of this year. We had a 5 day search for him, and it is very, very hard for him, even now. You will not recover completely, and but you will recover a little with time. It is going to be very rough for you and your family for awhile, and my prayers to you all.

    Lean on your family and friends, and reach out to others. After the hubbub fades, read this: continue to reach out to friends and family. They will be there for you. Don't hold things in - it's not good to do that.

    God bless you.

    He was a handsome strapping kid. It must be heartbreaking and my empathy goes out to you and your family. It takes a true patriot to let their son or daughter serve our country and risk that loved one's death like your family has done.

    I hope the healing can begin soon for you and your family.

    My best,

    I heard this on the NBC news tonight and it struck me as personal. Every week we hear of our dedicated young men losing their lives because they VOLUNTEERED but this was humanized more than ever. I now have an even deeper sense of loss for all our sons and fathers who lose their lives in conflict. And I remind myself that what they died for was selfless and from a love for their country.

    Every single life is a profound loss but in the name of America and all the GOOD that this country stands for, even at a time whan many feel that we are not worthy. I ask you, where else could you enjoy the opportunity, freedom and quality of life other than the USA? If you want to live as a Socialist maybe you should try Canada, Sweden or France.

    Send a postcard once a year.

    To our brave soldiers I raise a beer and say "HOO-AH". image You are worthy to be called a true American.

    Remember
    by: Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)




    Remember me when I am gone away,
    gone far away into the silent land;
    When you can no more hold me by the hand,
    nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
    Remember me when no more day by day
    you tell me of the future that you planned;
    Only remember me; you understand
    it will be late to counsel then or pray.
    Yet, if you should forget me for a while
    and afterwards, remember, do not grieve:
    For if the darkness and corruption leave
    a vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
    better by far you should forget and smile
    than that you should remember and be sad.


    My sincere condolences , this poem helped me thru painful loses I hope it can help you too

    Oh my ... terrible, terrible news ... I am so saddened for you and your family.

    I just can't imagine it, although my oldest son is serving as well. I pray for all of them.

    Real tears looking at you and he ...

    What a fine young man you raised.
