Heroes


Take the time to read this article. These are two of Chris's buddies from the Academy - who are now being buried next to each other at Arlington Cemetery. The article brings tears to my eyes thinking about how their lives were cut short and how painful this has to be for their families - and at the same time, I am filled with so much gratitude that they were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to help keep my family and me safe. In a society that cares so much about which celebrity is headed to jail and/or gaining and losing weight, we too often forget that the true HEROES are guys like this - who are fighting for the freedom we have to read about the celebrities heading to jail and/or gaining and losing weight. That act of selfLESSness should not be overlooked or go unrecognized.
