Tribute to a fallen soldier (VANITY)
None

Posted on 06/03/2008 8:22:38 PM PDT by Imgr8t

Okay, I know the rule about vanities and I'm doing my best here... but I feel I need to share this.

Taylor and his tank crew were killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq on March 10th.

Today, Leslie was presented with a painting that was painted by a relative of one of her co-workers. It represents the five that were killed that day.

God bless these men.

Don’t worry about breaking rules. I think it is a wonderful tribute for these men.

God rest their souls. I humbles me to think they gave everything on our behalf.

Your vanity is not posted in vain.

Beautiful tribute from a talented artist.

My best to Cpl Taylor’s family and friends, I will pray for them. He has commended himself to our Lord much better then I ever could. RIP Cpl Taylor.

Not vanity at all. These brave souls deserve all the recognition we can give them for their bravery. God bless them all.

Paying tribute to our heros protecting this country will not be looked upon poorly on FR by many. I thank these men and am grateful every time someone reminds us of the men this country is able to produce when there are so many negative influences in our society.
