God bless you and your sons. I must say that I was never in fear, knowing that Derek was fighting for what he knew in his heart was right. Capt.Ali Abass felt that way too. I am in close contact with his wife. He was fighting for a better Iraq. He was an honorable man, and the only Iraqi to be buried at Arlington. To your son who is across the pond, God bless you! Deb
God bless you and your family as well!
He was fighting for freedom for America...for you and me and all the generations to come after him...
If we do not fight there, we will surely be fighting here one day.
Yesterdays arrest of the terrorists in the FT. Dix plot proves it.
He gave his life so blood doesn’t flow in the streets here at home. Suicide bombers at the mall....Terrorists blowing away school children.
I know your pain is beyond description. No greater love than this...to lay down his life for a friend...
Friend in the terms of countryman...
Hugs for you..
Thank you for raising such a fine young man...Thank you for his sacrifice and for yours..
His earthly race is run and he is in the arms of peace..
One day, every tear will be wiped away.
Your son is the best of America and so is the family that raised him. The best
May Derek Argel rest in peace
