Thank you for your service to our great nation and our hearts break for your family, its my hope that healing finds its way to you soon. In my humble opinion it deserves to be said that Americans have lost their lives in service to their nation as have many others the world over and we honor them by remembering them for the lives they led and hold up their sacrifice to this nation with honor and dignity.
