I attended the funeral of an American Hero today who did his part in helping bring all that you are seeing on this thread. Capitan Lyle L. Gordon USMC was laid to rest having accomplished his mission to America and the people of Iraq. The unselfish acts of heroism he and others perform for us all made tears come to my eyes as I watched the anguish flowing over those who attended his service in Midlothian, Texas. I have known this family for many years and can testify to the Patriotism that exists. Please remember him and his family as you view this thread because he did his part and can we do any less in our own respect to ensure Freedom & Liberty as he did? This is a true American Hero we lost here and this is why we fight for what is good and proper as Americans. If you have ever wondered if its all worth it never forget he was willing to go to the wall for you & this Country because he knew what was worth dying for God-Country-Family- And The American Way. I salute his Service; At Ease Soldier. A grateful Nation "Remembers" SEMPER FI!
Saturday night at home bttt
