If someone were to ask me "Why do you stand here holding that flag for someone you didn't know?" I would say "To show respect for the soldier and regrets for the family, and because we are related." And if they ask "Oh? How are you related?" I would answer " You see, we are from the same country!'

Rest your head
Our brave daughter
You stood tall
You did not falter
Blessed are those
That battle for right
GOD has said
You are HEROS in his sight
Your honor and pride
Stood tall all the way
And now you have come
To the end of your day
Your watch is over
PGR will take it from here
With all the respect
We stand for so dear
You will ride in our hearts
Down the FLAG filled road
Thank you, BRAVE WARRIOR
You carried our load
Protecting us all
By both day and night
Never once flinching
In the heat of the fight
As we ride for you now
Our hearts filled with sorrow
Never to forget you
For all of the tomorrows
When the bugle plays TAPS
And the rifles will sound
Our eyes will be full
Our tears on the ground
You will be missed
By ones never met
You are our HERO
We will never forget
GOD BLESS OUR MIGHTY AND VIGILANT MILITARY. SECOND TO NONE. BECAUSE OF THEM WE ARE STILL FREE.

My condolences to the family and friends of Karen. When a soldier becomes an MP in the U.S. Army the moto is: "Of the Troops and for the Troops." The moto for the Military Police Investigations Unit is: "To do what has to be done." And that is what Karen did. God Bless
