and at each moment, I feel great pride in my country, my President and the men and women who give their best effort, even to the point of paying the ultimate price.

8. truly sad- I heard an interview with his Dad the other day-

and at the end, when asked how he'd like his son to be remembered, he said, as a "humanitarian". His goal was to bring peace to the world, he said the "rambo" "g.i.joe" side of him wasn't who he was- he was someone who loved people- and wanted peace.

made me weep listening to it.


(i love your sig.)

In the photo above? ..... Given to him by a friend he'd made there perhaps?
