My heart goes out the the Hines family and freinds. I had the oppurtunity to live in Olney in 1998-1999 time and enjoyed the area and the people. I am blessed to of had that oppurtunity and as i have seen MWHITE say that Joshua was a bartender at 'PAPA MIKES' i did get to enjoy many a good times there. For a community surrounded by corn, it is one of the most memorable places i have lived. Olney has its special things- White Squrriels and the wonderful Christmas display in the park - It is befitting that such a special young hero would come from there. So thank you Joshua and your family and freinds for giving the ultimate sacrifice to maintain are FREEDOM. Because we know that ' FREEDOM IS NOT FREE' . THANKS!!!

I did not know you Lance Cpl Hines and I did not know Spc Charlie Lamb. But I will stand next to you as I did Spc Lamb, because you deserve the recognition that you yourself will not see but your family and friends will. As myself and other Veterans will carry you into A place of rest, I will shed a tear for your family for we will see them weep but at the same time we will see them stand proud over you. Iwill give your family members a hug on Thursday and I will Salute you Lance Cpl Hines because not only did you yourself pay the ultimate sacrifice but so did your Family. God bless you and your Family. James C. Thompson U.S. Army 1986-1996 |
