Specialist James Kiehl, age 22, from Comfort, Texas, was killed, along with six other soldiers at the same place and the same day that Jessica Lynch was taken prisoner. His body was one of those that our special forces heroes dug up with their bare hands near the... |

His body was one of those that our special forces heroes dug up with their bare hands near the hospital in Iraq. They held the funeral service in Comfort at the Baptist Church, and then took him ten miles to Center Point, Texas, and buried him. A friend visited his grave July 4th, and it was a moving experience. He was compelled to offer a salute, and... |

Thus they fill their broadcasts with uninteresting drivel when there are very moving stories from small-town America that, as in this case, elicit heart-tugging and tears. This is the way our military dead should be honored. With all the junk on TV and all we hear about in the press, here is a story that restores faith in this country. http://members.accessus.net |

What follows is a message from Vicki Pierce (a member of my church here in Highlands Ranch) about her nephew James' funeral (he was serving our country in Iraq): I'm back, it was certainly a quick trip, but I have to also say it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. There is a lot to be said for growing up in a small town in Texas. The service itself was impressive with wonderful flowers and sprays, a portrait of James, his uniform and... |
