The Mansions of the Lord
Click the picture for music
To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
To the Mansions of the Lord. Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord. |

When I look at that sweet face through the eyes of a mother, my heart breaks!
God rest this hero's soul.

Amen!
In this case the CMoH is almost a given. Awhile back, I studied all the CMoH citations for WWII: by far the largest category was, "Fell on grenade to save comrades" -- awarded posthumously.
IIRC, some actually had the presence of mind to remove their "steel pot" helmet, cover the grenade with it, and, then fall on top of the helmet. A few of those awards were actually received by live (but badly wounded) heroes.
Thank God for ALL our troops!

Can't you picture him waving and saying, "Hi, Mom!" in that photo?
For some reason, that was my first thought when I saw it.
What courage!
Condolences to his comrades, friends and family.

You're right! No words can express the gratitude, or the grief for the loss!

God bless him, the entire US owes him.No. The entire world owes him its gratitude.
I only hope and pray his death is not in vain.
To: RDTF
Words cannot express what we feel for his heroic actions and for his family. God bless him and his family, God help us all.
