NEWLY FALLEN HERO

Grand Prairie, TX

The young man was just killed in Iraq just a few weeks ago. A headstone has not yet been erected. The family of this soldier were there paying their respects and shedding their tears. He was a hero to them and to me. May God give you strength to carry on.

A touching shot. Why did we let the politicians get us into that pointless war ?

Thanks for sharing this Cindi. It is too convenient to turn off the news and pretend it isn't happening.
