| Sr AirmanYelner has earned all of our respect and gratitude. My daughter is stationed with him (both weapons troops) and she told me he volunteered for convoy duty. He has made the ultimate selfless sacrifice for our freedom so it is time for us (his wingmen) to carry the torch of freedom and not let his contribution fade. Thanks and god bless to his family/friends/wingmen...... we shall always remember..... |

Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" 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. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |
