Was your son killed or injured in combat? You don’t say, but if so, he deserves our utmost respect for paying the ultimate price in defense of this country. I salute him and you.

God bless you and Derek. I can’t imagine your grief. He died a hero, fighting for each and every one of us here in the US and every country that treasures freedom (including the ones who don’t realize it yet). His purpose was huge and immeasurable.

1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

Prayers for you and yours. Your sons sacrifice will always be remembered. You did a great job instilling love for this country into him. Also prayers for the families who have lost loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan. May God watch over our brave men and women, that will do all they can to complete the mission.

Debbie,

While Sandy Berger may never become a real man and the Clintons et al may never act honorably, your son will never be forgotten.

There are real men and real women who are standing with you. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm honored by your son's service. Never forget.

Your nation won't forget.

God Bless you Debbie and your beloved son.

[Ricue]

From Spain:
I will praise for your Son, Debbie.
Don't think about cowards. Remember that your Nation is the Home of the Brave, the home of people like your Son.
So, be Proud of him. Never lose hope. His cause is the cause of freedom. And I believe that the Lord is with those who defend it and fight against Terror.

God Bless Him
God Bless America

You raised a hero.

Safeguarding all our tomorrows.
Standing on the right side of history and civilization.

You are a hero to me. You should not have to think about all those other things, I am sorry for that.

None of it will be forgotten, all of it matters. So very much so in the most important ways of all.
