My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Gary Tanner. You will be missed “Brother”. Stand down your tour is done.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Respect for the military has sometimes been lost. This should not happen again....ever.
The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.

Capt. Gary Tanner, thank you from a grateful nation for your sacrifice you are a true American HERO and May God Bless all your family and friends in this time of sorrow.
SOLDIER
I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others Feared to go, and did what others Failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness… should I fail.
I have seen the Face of terror; Felt the stinging cold of Fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, Pained, and Hoped… but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best Forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was… a Soldier.
Soldiers Creed
I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of the United States
And live the Army Values.

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.
