in a better place
This past week I lost a good friend to an improvised explosive device, his name was Will Newman. Will was an EOD tech(explosive ordinance disposal) a very young man who left us trying to keep the US soldiers and citizens of Iraq safe, it's because of people like Will that I still have faith in America and the cause that so many have died for. Jason De Rosa, also an EOD tech and good friend said it best " I wont let Will die for no reason, I believe in this cause and will continue to support it" it's people like Will and Jason that make me realize how much of an impact one can have in the time we have been given. Go out of your way today to do something nice for someone, do it for the men and women who have payed the ultimate price so that others may live. Do it for Will. Rest in peace buddy.

There are hundreds of millions of us who are so very thankful of the men and women who have chosen to take up arms so that others may enjoy safety and freedom in their daily lives. You won't hear about us on the news programs or in the political speeches, but we are out here, and our prayers and sympathies are with you and with your fallen comrades who have given the ultimate sacrifice. We will never be able to thank you enough. God bless you all.
"We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren...Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth." (I John 3:16,18)
Will Newman loved his country in deed and in truth--Father, comfort his friends and loved ones with this message. Amen
My brother it has been far to long, I want you to know I have been praying for you and your wife and little Parker. I'm so very proud of you and everyone else over there fighting for our freedom. Congratulations on becoming a father that is greatness now you have a little tidwell running around I have no doubts he will be raised by two amazing parents. I love you man, I will continue to lift you up as well as all of your comrades and there loved ones.
