Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

*********************** Welcome Home IANG, Estherville ***********************
The commitment and sacrifices of military life run deep and affect not only you, but also your family and require of them the same steadfast determination to endure separation and sacrifice. Without these commitments, the freedoms we enjoy would be balanced precarioulsy on a string strung along the borders that encircle this great nation.
Thank you for safeguarding our freedoms and we're glad you're home. May God bless you all.
