A terrible tragic loss for America and the free world as a whole.

May our ALMIGHTY GOD embrace the families, commrades and friends of these true AMERICAN HEROS, giving them the strength to get through this very sad hour.

Thank you, BRAVE WARRIORS, for standing for us. Rest now with so many other HEROS in the HEAVENLY HALL OF HEROS.

AMERICA IS THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE IT IS INDEED, THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.

Standing at the ready to honor our HEROS of today, yesterday and tomorrow. Any time, Any where because IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. MISSION FIRST.
LIVE EVERYDAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST ONE. IT COULD VERY WELL BE.

IT IS FAR BETTER TO DIE ON YOUR FEET THAN TO LIVE ON YOUR KNEES.
