Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dhart,

My lights burn dimmer for your loss. :mecry:
Be brave, and I wish to you and your family a return to the joy of life as soon as possible. Difficult; yes. But I suspect that Elijah would not want you to be too sad for too long.

Thank you for all you and Elijah have done for us all in this country, from the bottom of my heart.

I've seen some of your posts mentioning Elijah, and know others with relations out risking their lives for our safety. Thankyou for his contribution in keeping us safe, and may God bless him, you, your family and his wife and child.

May he know how grateful we are for his sacrifice.

There are some other words that are part of this heart rending process. Words that I have had the crushing duty and privilege of saying twice during my career. Words that the stress of the day may blur but that are important.

This flag is presented on behalf of a grateful nation and the United States Army as a token of appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful service.

When those words are said remember my gratitude, and all the gratitude others here have expressed, for his selfless service. Remember also my heartfelt condolences and grief for the loss of your son and my brother warrior.

As always, I feel so inept at times like these. "I'm sorry for your loss" seems so lame to say to a parent who has lost a child. I have no concept of that kind of loss... I'm so, so sorry...

 

[sed6]

Stay strong. Never doubt the support and encouragement you gave your son. His sacrifice means a lot and will make our world a better place to live in.

My thoughts and prayers to you and all of the family. It is always difficult to lose a child. Elijah sounds like a wonderful man.
