They are not alone, we are their family.
“If we cannot do him honor while he’s here to hear the praise,
Then at least let’s give him homage at the ending of his days.
Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning for a soldier died today.” NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.
