We will never know what he would have achieved had he not been killed in Iraq, but we do know what he achieved while alive.

So do we, sir, and we are forever grateful.

May God give him the rest he deserves. It is simply impossible to thank him and you enough, with simple words, for your respective sacrifices. He will be remembered as the wonderful human being whom we have all loved.

Dearest brother and family ... there are no words, but your own heartfelt ..

"Today, we are not only honoring my son, but all the fallen heroes from the past and present wars who scarified their lives so we may voice our opinion and not have to worry about being whisked away by a government as in other countries. We all understand freedom but some of us stand up for it and unfortunately the clich/ is true, “freedom is not free.” "

.. and I can only add to others more eloquent than I, My sincerest thanks for the generosity Americans have shown for, and to .. America.

But I fear .. I fear for what I think so idealistically to be America and her seemingly endless spiral down away from the holy ideals our founders must have felt beating in their breasts as they argued and discussed how to formulate a body politic that was God honoring and as perfect for man as could be without being a theocracy.

" The dark lords have declared WAR on the world of light, we must stand firm in our resolve and LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR until the dark lords are utterly defeated."

Personally, I don't think I do damage to scripture nor our heritage by saying, "Amen".

"...freedom is not free..."

No, it costs everything! God, help this family deal with this massive loss, and help us to appreciate the sacrifices they have all made!

Thank you for posting this. Prayers for brave Casey and his brave family.

Today I saw the different veterans groups standing on a hillside outside of the Castillo (a Spanish fort in St. Augustine, FL) and somebody was playing Taps. It definitely made you think. I drove by later and noticed that the Marines - who had set up a recruiting tent on the grounds of the fort - seemed to have collected quite a crowd of young men and women. It's good to know that we as a country still have these brave people among us.

In Lincoln's words: "For laying so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom" This American thanks you, God Bless.
