A young man from our community gave ALL he had in Afghanistan week before last.
The story of his death is here and he is a true American hero. I hope you take the time to read it.

I am SO proud of our community! Rumor had it that the crazies that protest soldiers funerals were going to be here. The community rallied around this family to protect them from that. One person at the grave side service said the crazies were there but you didn't even notice them unless you looked for them. There were so many of us there that we over shadowed them.
The funeral was held at the church I attend. Thousands lined the 11+ mile stretch between the church and the grave site. Over 400 Patriot Riders and 50 police for a total of over 500 motorcycles escorted them to the grave site. If you need a little hope that patriotism isn't dead watch this video of Staff Sergent Jason Rogers' mom talking about the funeral.

May God bless and keep safe our military.

Since I graduated from boot in 1989 I have yet to hear Taps, God Bless America, or the National Anthem that tears didn't fill my eyes. I just can't make it through them.
