A moment of silence, prayers, and honor

[Roseneath]

God Bless.

We live in a great country and its because of people like Mark. It’s a shame that I go through most of my days and not even spend a moment to reflect on the sacrifices these soldiers and their families are making.

Next time I reach for my rod, I'm going to think that some US Solider in Iraq is reaching for his/her gun and thank 'em.

May god hold you forever. Thank you Mark.

Very sad...very sad indeed! Prayers sent.

As someone who has experienced first hand the trauma that comes after a visit by a military notification team my heart is breaking for them. A knock on the door at any hour of the day or night when a loved one is somewhere off in harms way changes your life forever in an instant. God bless him and his family and may they find the strength to get through this initial shock and may they find a way to bear the pain that will be with them each and every day for the rest of thier lives.

He's going to heaven because he spent his time in hell. Thank you.
