Properly Remembered

Families and friends of the fallen gathered today to pay tribute. Words cannot express the feeling we felt today. Seeing the emotions that those closest to these men were feeling really made us realize how fortunate we are. These men made the ulitimate sacrifice and that sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Twenty men..the rifle, kevlar, boots, photo and dogtags stand in place of each one.

Placing the kevlar, then comes the boots... 21 Gun Salute
These are photos of those who gave their lives for us...

This was the interpreter.

God will forever be with these families. The sacrifice these men gave will never be forgotten, nor will the memories they gave each and everyone of us.

Ecclesiastes
3:1-11

There is a time
for everything, and a season for every activity under
heaven:

a time to be
born and a time to die,

a time to plant
and a time to uproot,

a time to kill
and a time to heal,

a time to tear
down and a time to build,

a time to weep
and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn
and a time to dance,

a time to
scatter and a time to gather them,

a time to
embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search
and a time to give up,

a time to keep
and a time to throw away,

a time to tear
and a time to mend,

a time to be
silent and a time to speak,

a time to love
and a time to hate,

a time for war
and a time for peace.

What does the
worker gain from his toil? I have seen the burden God has laid on men. He
has made everything beautiful in it's time. He has also set eternity in
the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to
end.
