My sincere condolences to the family of Cpl. Charlie Franklin. As we got to the visitation for Pfc. Setzler this evening we found that Cpl. Franklin's visitation had been moved to another location. Some of us relocated to stand in honor for him as well.
Another member of the "Greatest Generation" has stood his final duty. Rest in peace Cpl. Franklin, in the knowledge that you are a true American HERO.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to
our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them
to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our
children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Thank you for my freedom Cpl Franklin. It was an honor to stand the flagline for you this afternoon. May you rest in peace.
“Some people’s lives can truly make a difference however long or short their lives on earth. They give the gifts of kindness and of caring. They sow the seeds of friendship and self-worth. Some people’s lives are beautiful examples of putting others first, and when they are gone, the lives of those they touched are so much richer, and the love they shared lives on and on.” |

Lord Jesus help me as I mourn, comfort me with the knowledge of your love which is stronger than death. Enable me to trust you for the future of my love ones and myself. Help me to cast all of my care on you, knowing that the grave holds no power over those who trust in you. Amen. |
