Chris,
I've been away for a little bit and haven't been keeping up with the latest posts, The very first one I clicked on brought me to tears! I've seen it too many times, the flag draped coffin, the honor guard, the procession, streets lined with complete strangers mourning the loss of another of America's Finest! It's beautiful, it's gut wrenching!
Don't ever be misled by popular culture, and the drive by media, that this country is so wrapped up in itself that nobody cares when another of her Heros pays the ultimate sacrifice!
Your Son, Jordan, is in God's loving hands - There is no better place he could be.
I pray God will continue to meet you and your family's needs, give you the strength to cope with your loss.
Be proud of what your son did! Be proud that he chose to serve his country, that he took to heart his duty and honor. He died so that a great many more of his brothers will live another day.
Thank you for sharing with us what must be some of the most difficult moments in your life.
Godspeed Jordan
