Tribute to Fallen Soldiers

Thank You

Son, there’s no way I can express

The way my heart feels deep inside.

There’s pride in my American heart,

And it’s a feeling I just can’t hide!

I value the steps you’ve taken of late

To train and to learn and serve….

May you follow the Lord along this path

And from Him son, never swerve.

Cling to the ones who support your call

And pray for you day and night…

But remember there are those out there

Who are blinded to what is right.

Your service, son, will never be in vain,

To ones who understand the call.

We know the depth of what you do,

You fight for the freedom of all!

Jesus gave us Liberty for sure

When He died on Calvary’s hill.

Freedom never goes without a price,

And those we’ve lost we remember still.

It’s a costly gift, freedom is..

One handed down through time.

From Calvary’s hill to Yorktown’s hills

I cherish the freedom that’s mine!

Lucy Cain

Our prayers are with these soldiers' families.....and may we never forget their dedication and willingness to serve, and may we honor them for the greatest sacrifice they could make for freedom's sake.

JAMES CATHEY

Received the following on email ...felt it was fitting for this page. Lucy

Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News
When 2nd Lt. James Cathey's body arrived at the Reno Airport, Marines climbed into the cargo hold of the plane and draped the flag over his casket as passengers watched the family gather on the tarmac.

During the arrival of another Marine's casket last year at Denver International Airport, Major Steve Beck described the scene as so powerful: "See the people in the windows? They sat right there in the plane, watching those Marines. You gotta wonder what's going through their minds, knowing that they're on the plane that brought him home," he said. "They will remember being on that plane for the rest of their lives. They're going to remember bringing that Marine home. And they should."
