This is an absolutely amazing piece.....Brings tears to my eyes everytime I read it...It embodies all that I admire so greatly in those who serve this country.

It’s the least we can do considering their sacrifices. And I’d like to add, that through those gates are at least a thousand others who have volunteered to take our place here.”

Here is the link to read the whole story, a story that deserves to be read by all.http://sgthook.com/2006/04/10/no-tears-in-heaven/
