    I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. - Abraham Lincoln

    I was never called on to serve; but I dearly respect and love those who did. We are blessed by those who have "stood on the wall". I truly pray that our wonderful country ALWAYS remains worthy all their sacrifice. God bless America, and, please, America, bless God.
