We must NEVER FORGET those that risk their lives, or sadly gave their all, so this nation and your family, can stay free.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY NEW YEAR
GOD BLESS AMERICA

This is heartbreaking. There's nothing else I can say, except ask for Father to send His Spirit of Comfort to the parents of this fallen hero. And, we musn't ever forget his sacrifice for us.

The strength of our Nation has ALWAYS rested in the family.
After reading about the Curtins....it seems that we are still a pretty strong Nation.
God will help them ease their pain.

p.s....and unlike Vietnam...we will NOT forget the sacrifices made.
