Here are some pics I took of my brother's grave site. It was a tough day but when we put the fresh flowers on the grave and let my nieces 2 and 4 let their balloons go, that they had written their "I love you daddy" notes on, it reminded me that he is in a much greater place.




GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN! LOVE YOU BRO

RIP Brother, from one soldier to another.
"Young Warriors;
Should fate find you on the battlefield,
May your cause be a just one. May your courage not falter.
May you show mercy to your enemies.
May your efforts bring the blessings of peace.
May you be triumphant and earn victory. May your sacrifice be always appreciated.
May you endure the conflict unharmed.
Should you be harmed,
May your wounds heal.
Should you perish in the struggle,
May God embrace you and find a Place for you in his Kingdom." - "A Battle Prayer"

x3 My thanks to all who have given so much.



Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different.

Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

That definitely got me teary eyed especially seeing your neices. I have three daughters all under 4 and am a brother in arms. I can't imagine what it's been like but his sacrifice is not in vain. May God continue to be with you and the rest of your family and may your brother rest in peace as he watches over his princesses with our heavenly father.
