"Greater love hath no man than he would lay down his life for his friends." But, a true patriot lays down his life in battle for those who are not his friends. Patriots die for the ungrateful, for those who call themselves Americans yet despise our Christian heritage, and mock our commander-in-chief. A true patriot will willingly give his life for this earth we stand on, called the United States of America. WE THANK GOD FOR OUR PATRIOTS!!

| Our loss is so deeply felt. Nick was in my son's platoon and one of the few he would call a buddy. Please accept our condolences on your loss and know that we are honored by his service to our country. My son talked of him frequently and while our daughter in law got to meet him and his mother, she regrets not getting a chance to meet his new wife while at CLJ. This is one ride I really regret not being able to make since it is so far away. Would someone riding, please hold a flag up for me and my son. Thank you |
