Please add my condolences, m-a, for Sgt. Mike's friend, S/Sgt. Chaney - and for your community, for the loss of young Jeremy Ridlen.

Please feel free to add any local tributes to this thread.

It was my hope that others may be inspired to mourn here, and honor our fallen troops, without any hurtful accusations.

I pray over each fallen troop - his/her family, community, and 'brothers-in-arms.'

I am not alone.

Our troops and their families are covered in prayer daily - by allies on the homefront, and around the world.
