My Rambles

I’ve decided to do something on occasion, just to remind us to never forget. How soon we forget about the unseen.

Honoring our Heroes is something most of us often don’t think about, or don’t want to think about. I feel like we need to be aware of the statistics and of each person who gave their life for us.

This is my first post on this, so I would like to share a video with you. Seana is an amazing, strong woman, mother to adorable Alston, who lost her husband far too early, like many other women in this country. Josh Gracin dedicated a song to her fallen Hero, Ofren.

So far, in the month of August, statistics show we have lost 70 men and women, and CNN lists the names, and their information on their website here.

There were no KIA’s in Iraq for August.
