Memorial Day is here and as we remember those who have served
- if that's you, or members of your family – but for those of you who had a
child or children who served a very special thank you.. and I think this note, from another mom, written
a few years ago for Independence Day
speaks volumes to our soldier children’s memories…
~ July 4, 2010 ~ Eileen Marie Hines: To All Our Soldiers and
their families
I am very humbled and grateful to be able to speak out
concerning so many of our children that have died for us and their country. I
know many people who's names would never fit in a large book, through my life,
that spoke of soldier's, men and women alike that were just your average next
door neighbor that loved and believed we live in the best country in the world!
My husband and I have raised our children to respect, and
honor those that are serving in any capacity for freedom and helping other folk
less fortunate than our people are here in the United States.
There is something mentioned somewhere that when one human
being suffers, we are all touched by their suffering. This applies as well to
our fallen comrades. We are so very, very, proud of them and their families for
having given the ultimate sacrifice. We also know that it was not in vain. What
we don't understand now, will become clear to us later.
The Commander-in-Chief, (GOD) has them safely with HIM for
the present. We will get to see them later. I'm sure the medals HE will be
passing out are far more wonderful. I know several, personally that have passed
on to HIM. I miss them, but they made a difference for a lot of folk. Thank
you- You will never be forgotten, just like those that are serving our country
now will not be forgotten.
Sincerely, Eileen Hines
