My brother was the Recruiting Station Commander at the Texas City
recruiting station where PFC Given enlisted. My brother called me the
night that he found out about Given's death --- he told me that in his
6 years of recruiting duty, that Given's is the first one of "his"
soldiers who has been killed in action.
From that very first day that PFC Given was killed, my brother told me
that the Given family already knew about the PGR, and was already
asking how to make sure that we were involved in honoring their son.
I'm glad to see that we'll be able to help the Givens in honoring their
son.
I wrote
about PFC Given here, including a picture from the family.

Am honored to share with you the poem that will be read at the funeral...
This is from Thomas Gilbert...written by his wife...Mirian...
Thomas and Scott served together in the Navy...brothers forever...
The Spirit of My Soldier
by Mirian Gilbert
I feel the spirit of my soldier
all around my home
It comforts me to feel
that I am not alone
His spirit makes me wonder
of the reason for his loss
Then it takes me to
Jesus on the cross
Jesus suffered as my son
but bravely stood up tall
wanting peace for everyone
and sacrificed his all
This is where my son proudly wished to be
to pray for him and guide him
was souly up to me
My son needing me to support
him at this time for God
agave him the choice to go and
that choice was not mine
The day they came to my door
to sadly bring the news
I collapsed onto the floor and could not even move
My grief was heavy
I had ceased to breathe
my little baby boy was gone
why God wasn't it me?
Oh what a privilege it is
to have known my son
a hero in my heart
and for everyone
The children in Iraq
will miss his friendly touch
for if he had his very own
they'd of loved him just as much
The little touches left behind
the last time he was here
will grace our loving home with laughter and some tears
The day is somber now
the sun will set real soon
my sons in the hands of God
they've fixed him up a room
I feel a gentle touch
when I'm all alone
I feel the spirit of my soldier
my son has come on home.

My deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Pfc Given.
My heart is breaking with the knowledge of yet another fine young man who has lost his life in sacrifice for our nation. May you find some comfort in the gratitude of our nation and this group of Patriot Guard members will never forget him and his heroism.
I will consider it a privilege to stand for him and honor his sacrifice and his life. |

"...Here, in this place where the West held together, let us make a vow to our dead. Let us show them by our actions that we understand what they died for. Let our actions say to them the words .... 'I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.' Strengthened by their courage and heartened by their valor and borne by their memory, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died."

==============================
When a mans heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Dark Warrior, the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence and a mission of justice. - Steve "Sting" Borden |
