My deepest sympathy to you and you family. In New Zealand and Austrailia, at Anzac Day Services this poem is always recited:

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

I hope this helps,

Brian

My heart goes out to you and your family... my prayers are with your daughter as well as the rest of the family.. I understand how you feel.. I, too, come from a military family.. and I am a father of a young Marine making his way overseas..
My hats is off to this young man.. who paid the ultimate sacrifice, so others may live free.. we will never forget him.. Bless him and your family...
I am glad you had the Patriot Guard present.. I ride for them, when I get the opportunity, but I really never got the full picture, till they came to my assistance, and rode escort for my Father...

My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Thank you all for your service. In times like this I tend to look for the thoughts of others, and am reminded of the following:

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
