THE WAR HAS STRUCK PRETTY CLOSE TO HOME -----

My daughter, called me this morning to tell me the sad news that my grandson, Zachary's best friend had been killed in Afghanistan! Taylor had been there only six weeks when the end came for him, he was only eighteen years old! I have felt fortunate that my son, Brian, and my nephews, Steven, and Shawn, all Marines, survived Desert Storm without a scratch! But, to see my grandson who is a big, burly fella reduced to a sobbing heap at the loss of his dear friend - just took the legs right out from under me! Pray for, and support our troops !! God bless you, Taylor - may God love you and keep you, Amen !

That's sad to hear Wayne. Our prayers go out to his family. The bravery of these soldiers is amazing, they volunteer to go serve and risk it all. They deserve much respect and thanks.

Our son's good friend just got sent to Afganinistan, we are hoping he stays safe.

SALUTE

So sorry to here this. My condolences and prayers go out to the family and friends. My ex wife's son is on his 3rd tour in Afghanistan and I worry about him all the time. My heart skips a beat whenever I get a letter.

I can't add anything that hasn't already been said. There is a place in Arlington National for Taylor, if the family wants it. God bless the family.

So sad to hear that Wayne. From a soldier to you & your family. God Bless our troops! Without their sacrifices, we would have nothing. This video is from my favorites list. I play it whenever I need a good dose of reality. For our troops, and their great sacrifices.

Very sad indeed, god be with the family.

I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the Miller family to thank all of you for your condolences, and sentiments. Taylor's family has decided to lay him to rest among the hero's of Arlington. Many businesses in our town have come forward volunteering services, such as charter buses, and motel accomodations for all of Taylors friends and family to be able to attend his funeral! Thanks again to all of you ARE great bunch of guys!
