For the last few days my heart has once again been hurting... Two more are coming home, this time one will return here to Fort Hood, his funeral is Monday. My husband just stepped down from command of the 720th MP BN so this one hits a little closer to home...
They were both so young, may God bless their families and loved ones. May they both rest in peace, knowing that there are so many who will always be eternally grateful for their sacrifice... They are true heros...
