Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to post the photos and names of the 13 soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan. While I may not be able to recite their names by heart, their faces stay with me. I pray for their families and extend my gratitude to all who have served and lost their lives serving with humility, duty, honor, and love of country. God bless our troops and the U.S.A.
