Thanks for the pictures. Tears in my eyes.

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.


Thank you for your service Marine, Pfc. Colton Rusk

Lots of tears watching that video. Thanks for posting the link. After life, itself, and intelligence, dogs are the greatest gift God gave human beings. Friend, companion, guardian, workmate, playmate...all these, and more, dogs have been to humans for thousands of years. In some ways, they know us better than we know ourselves. These days, some are even using that knowledge to help diagnose cancer in its early stages. There is a reason why dog is God spelled backwards.

“”Lots of tears watching that video.””

Boy ain’t that the truth. I teared up each time I looked over something new on this thread, but well...watching that video with Brady had me asking God why and thanking Him in short order : \ That and reading the MSNBC article with Eli not holding a sit while the handler read the letter...tried to read the letter that is...

I haven’t watched the youtube videos yet...small smile, but I will. Because these men, their families and these creatures we share our lives with, are what matter.

Thank you Lord, for all of them.
