Oh.....reading these stories really hurts. I read each one because I think it's so important that we know who these fine warriors are. God rest his soul and give his family comfort.
that was beautiful MEG33..
thank you Sir for sharing your fine son.. he died fighting to keep hell itself from our shores. and i will be forever thankful to him and you. Rest easy dear Louis.
Amen
God Bless you All
nicely put.
It angers me that such vermin as still fight us in Iraq and elsewhere still exact such a price. They are those who would send children to blow up children. They are cowards of the worst order and they are not each or by the thousands worth a single loss of a good Marine, Soldier or Sailor.
It angers me that we must suffer losses of good men when the parasites that we fight are not even to be considered human beings. Human beings do not disembowel and dismember defenseless women, or behead hostages, or blow up a pizza parlor.
Vermin such as this *must* lose their fight. There is no other choice. That this comes at such a cost as this fine young man today even amplifies my anger.
Oh, I know. But we must win this. We need to be worty of these sacrifices, and I wish we could extend our gratitude and sympathy to these folks. I want them to know that we notice.

Roger that.

God Bless him....
We can do both. No parent should outlive his child, but the child will be waiting, happy.
May this brave young man rest in peace. People like him are performing the exalting work of bringing light to dark places and justice to age-old evil. He died fighting against the benighted acolytes of the Great Antagonist and the henchmen of a brutal dictator. What greater laurel could he have, than that he took up arms in the name of our People against men like these?
"Evil propers when good men do nothing."
WHAT A GOOD MAN!

When Iraq has become a democracy, it would be fitting if they had access to the history of American and coalition soldiers who died so they could be free. Not just name and country of origin, but family accounts of the fallen soldiers and how they felt when they heard that knock at the door. Liberty comes with cost, Iraqis see violence and mayhem now, and may not appreciate what others are doing on their behalf. When they have time to reflect, this might be instructive.
Turn your hate towards love for our God and Nation. Be thankful of the miracle that is the United States of America. Be proud that we live in a society that is capable of producing such outstanding young men and women. Be amazed and in awe of Louis Qualls, and all of the others who willing stepped up and volunteered to fight and even die so that the rest of us can be free. Rejoice that there are millions more now that are free because of our willingness to fight for freedom and justice. Be at peace that his sacrifice was not in vain and our cause is just.
May we all be reminded that because of Brave Men like Corporal Quall's we all have just awoken from a slumber safe and sound here in the homeland.
With deepest sympathy from a fellow Texan I would like to say: "Thank You Mr. and Mrs Quall's" for producing such an exceptional American. May your Hero son RIP.
Respectfully, I will keep my hate towards those who seek to chain others. It is okay to despise those whose only desire is to dominate.
God Bless this Marine and his Family. My Prayers for them are Incoming.
God bless him and his family. His father can certainly be proud of his fine son.
The cynical and ego-driven media figures of this world aren't worthy to lace up his boots.
