Dhart,
I've not been on the boards nearly enough over the past year, but I can remember coming across just the post(s) you spoke of, mentioning Elijah.
And thank you, for sharing this with us here. While this loss is your family's to grieve, it has always been my thought that we should be grieving as a family, friends, forum, and as a country each and every time one of our heroes passes on in battle. Far too often we forget that their choice to do what they do is exactly what allows us to make our choice not to.
I live just south of Dover DE and have grown used to the humm purr and growl of the large cargo planes that fly in and out of here all the time. The fact is not lost in my mind that for many of our fallen heroes, flying into Dover is one of the last legs in their final journey home.
May your son rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
