I was at the Boise VFW this morning, having volunteered to wash dishes for the Post breakfast. During a coffee break, I unfolded my newspaper only to see the headline "Meridian soldier remembered as a friend to all." on the front page. I hadn't seen anything in the local press/TV about Sgt. King so I was rather taken aback to see the article about the death of a local resident.
Jeremy, rest in peace, your mission is complete.
My deepest condolenses to the King family for your great loss, peace be with you in your time of sorrow.
Standing by in Boise to honor this Fallen Hero,

I won't be able to attend, as I'm back into full time teaching. Sending prayers, thank yous and condolences to the King family for giving our country the ultimate sacrifice, one of their own family. I'm waiting for the itinerary update so I can update the POW-MIA in Pocatello. They would like to send a contingent down to honor Sgt. King and his family.
