Robin, thank you for sharing your moving story with our readers. I know exactly the emotions you’re describing. I’ve read this account a number of times, and it never fails to touch me to my inner core.

God bless you, dear friend. And God bless our brave heroes in the military… we appreciate and are forever in their debt for all that they do, or have done, in the name of freedom. Because of them, Americans don’t know the gripping fear that so many other people in foreign, tyrant-run lands feel each and every day.

Let freedom ring!

Over Easter, my mother took my 2 youngest children & I on an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. As we were standing under the Iwo Jima Memorial, she brought out of piece of paper & quietly instructed us to listen. As she read this featured article, I began to cry uncontrollably. To hear these heroes’ stories come to life, suddenly made it all so very poignant. I was so touched by this account & at the same time, was saddened that in our media-crazed society, so few have never heard this account. I returned home & have shared it with many. And as I reread it today, the chills & the tears are no less potent. May we never forget those sweet & stout-hearted soldiers who have gone on. And I pray that my God will bless & cover with a supernatural safety, those who still serve us so courageously & sacrificially …God bless their families & give them piece of mind, an unabashed pride & the richest of blessings!

Freedom Is Never Free…

“Once each May, amid the quiet hills and rolling lanes and breeze-brushed trees of Arlington National Cemetery, far above the majestic Potomac and the monuments and memorials of our Nation’s Capital just beyond, the graves of America’…

I’ve never read this story before. It gave me chills. Makes me prouder to be an American, and even prouder of our military (if that is possible, since I’ve always been proud of them).

Excellent, excellent post.
