    God bless those left behind who will miss them dearly. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for our FREEDOM. May you now rest in the peace of the creator.

    Couldn't agree more with this quote:

    <span>“I think fortunate for all of us; many Americans still understand that the freedom that we enjoy is not free. These men knew that their calling was to serve and if necessary to sacrifice everything,” said Morris. “Now, all three of these men have been taken home on their shields as great warriors should be and are now at rest.</span>

    My freedom is based on the willingness of others to provide it and for that I am forever grateful.
