Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you. Jesus Christ, and the American Soldier. One died for your sins, the other for your freedom. |

I am so very sorry for your loss. May God give you peace, comfort, support and most of all love, during this difficult time. Kim Busch sendcare@yahoo.com
For Country…For Freedom
Another brave soldier has fallen today…
while serving his country, in the midst of “Harm’s Way”.
He was fighting for freedom, for us, and Iraq,
and fell silent and still, while under attack.
He gave all he had, like a hero so true…
the ultimate sacrifice…for the red, white, and blue.
Words can’t describe, to a family or friend,
the personal loss, that they feel deep within.
But those that have served, their country before,
can feel the great loss, no matter the war.
This “brother” who’s fallen, for what we believe,
is a hero forever, as we honor and grieve.
His life has been given, so we can go on,
living in freedom, right now and beyond.
Heroes are born in our country each day,
and they give all they have, in their own special way.
We know who they are, for they usually stand out,
and we try to be like them, and what they’re about!
So mourning this hero, and what he stood for,
should remind us each day…of our freedom once more.

No matter what we say or do, we can can never measure up to the ultimate sacrifice
that Corey gave for all of us who cherish the freedoms and love of this country.
Another name is added to the Fallen Hero's list, and all we can do is offer our prayers,
love and sympathy to those who knew and loved him. Heros like Corey never leave
us. Their memories are strong and lasting, and they continue to communicate with
us in ways that are so very personal and deep. His spirit will always be a reminder of
courage, love and determination. His efforts to insure that all mankind has the right to
be free and pursue the happiness of life may have cost him his mortal life, but insured
his admission to an eternal life. God's Speed Soldier! You have won the final conflict...
may you rest in peace and glory forever!
