Good evening, Luv!

*HUGS*

And today we learn that another of our own has fallen.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Indeed I read that...breaks my heart. God rest his soul...and console his heartsick family and friends.

Very sad news, it was. News like that always is. :-(

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening -

"Where shall I hide my forehead and my eyes?
For now I see the true old times are dead,
When every morning brought a noble chance,
And every chance brought out a noble knight."

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!
