This deserves better than a trackback link on the H&I post..

Beth of Blue Star Chronicles honors service above self.

It�s the extraordinary common man who holds this country together. It�s the guy who loves his country, his family, his community and his God. It�s the wife who waits for him, understands him and loves him.
You probably know these people. They are probably down the street from you, living in your community.

They are the threads that make up the fabric of American society and the cloth of the American Flag.

Indeed.

Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance, In Memoriam.

Beautifully written, Beth - thank you! V29 - not nearly enough, I am sure.

That was beautiful. I can guess how painful it was to write. But so important - so very, very important. Thank you Beth.

Thanks for your kind words. That was a very difficult post to write. But I needed to honor him in my own way I suppose. Thanks :)

The families, mothers, fathers, siblings, spouses and kids are left devastated by the loss of a soldier KIA. How best to help without being seen as intrusive a nose? How to know that they need help, so that you might render some aid? I pray the Good Lord will aid and comfort those in grief, but sometimes more worldly aid is required. I wonder if we, not military folks, John Q Public, really does enough to help?
