Thank you sir for the quote. I had a lengthy prayer session with a member of my church family on Sunday. We prayed for my brother, his family, my family and everyone who was touched in some way by my brother for healing and strength knowing he is in Gods arms and a much better place.
I have to forgive the family, Jesus died for us and forgave our sins. I feel much more at ease than I was last week.
I think term limits are an absolute necessity. Now for military service that’s a different story, You should be able to make a career out of it. Politicians however need to be reigned in from time to time. My main reason for support of term limits is to actually, hopefully, have new faces that represent us better. The long term politicians have forgotten who WE the people are.
Thank you all for the prayers and constructive comments. This forum helps me make it through life knowing there are decent folks out there. We have decided that it’s best to hold our own ceremony of remembrance at the cemetery after the funeral out of respect for my brother. My family, my mother and other siblings will be in attendance. We don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable at this time.
I apologize to you and the group for being insensitive to your recent loss.
I still have my brothers and I cannot imagine anything getting between me and them in a similar situation. But every family is different.
Forgive me for causing you more pain. I should have come with a better way of writing that.
Thank you for a measured response.
I'll suggest that to Mrs. Infool7 but she is going to want to know why taxpayers need to foot the bill for extended military careers. She seriously want's it all ended. Government, Schools, Military, Post Office, Police, Fire and Municipal Services, Any Government assistance, all government pay of any kind max lifetime cap at seven years.
I have the utmost respect for the men and women that have dedicated their lives to our exemplary military and I can understand that there are positions that require skills that take long term dedication to develop AND are not readily transferable to the private sector but technology is making those kind of positions fewer and fewer and climbing the pay/skill ladder in a profitable corporation is funded and limited by the success of the company, conversely, government is supported exclusively by the coercion of taxpayers and has only an arbitrary connection to the results that may have warranted it.

So very sad... prayers lifting for you and your family, in the hope that, one day, they will see.
May God hold you close, FRiend.
