Our heart-felt condolences to the Morton family and friends in the loss of Cherie. Thank you for her service to this great country. Our prayers go out to God for you in this time of loss. Cherie served to give us the freedom we now enjoy so much and for that she is one of the GREAT AMERICAN HEROS of the land. God bless your family and friends. Wish I could have shaken her hand and told her thank you myself. God tells us that “Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13) As Christ our Lord laid down His life for us that believe in Him for salvation, so your love one has laid down her life for us for our freedom. This act has made her a Super Hero in my heart and I thank-you deeply for this sacrifice made for our freedoms. I pray that God will now bless your lives and help you see how great a thing this is which your loved one has done. The FALLEN MILITARY MEMBER has shown this country her greatest love for country and friends
