I think the saddest day That someone ever told When someone tells a mother That her blue star turned to gold.

Her head goes up so proudly While her heart within her dies She may be choked with sorrow But she never cries.

She has waited for days on end For the war to pass When she could see her son again And hold him close at last.

Now, the news has come In words so bleak and cold Which tells her what she fears; Her blue star has turned to gold.

My deepest sympathies to his family. God Bless them and rest well soldier.

Your family is in my prayers.

I would like to say thank you from an American family who knows the price your family paid to keep mine safe and free. My heart goes out to you in this hour of your need.

My God welcome Christopher into his loving embrace. God bless your family.

Well, what can be said here by me to ease your suffering? Nothing, at least by me, since I have no similar extreme experience to demonstrate my empathy.

But I do empathize in a way. You are experiencing "every parent's nightmare" and I can certainly appreciate the loss of a son when I contemplate the loss of my own. It is something no one wants to think about, and when it happens, we search for words to lend compassion to the bereaved.

In many ways, mere words from a Conservative website cannot paint an accurate picture of how much we also suffer your loss, along with you.

I have no doubt that it will get better for you, with time. Until then, please accept my profound thanks for your son and the fact that he was willing to give the last full measure of devotion which Abraham Lincoln spoke of in his address at Gettyburg, Pennsylvania.

America loves you, loves your son, and is with you in this time of personal loss.

To the Hudson Family,

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss. I have two nephews just out of boot camp (MCRD - San Diego) awaiting further training and orders. Either one - both good students - could be in college without a care. They've chosen a different path.

Why? I cannot say but I suspect that these men are our earthbound guardian angels striving to make our world a better place.

May the Lord take your son and keep him by his side. I wish my words could say more, could ease your pain but I know they cannot. Thank you for his service and your sacrifice.

G-d Bless you and keep you.

Charlie & Family

Each and every sacrifice is so painful. With each death each and everyone of us inherits the precious burden that they were carrying on their shoulders with such honor and valor.
