And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my own son, Marine LCpl Jordan Haerter to a VBIED in Ramadi on 4/22 so I fully understand the overwhelming heartache that you are experiencing right now. Rely on your family, friends, and community to help you through this difficult time....it makes it alot easier to deal with. Every time I hear the news of the death of another brave soul my heart is broken all over again. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.....
