I know you must know at least one of these great men John.....my thoughts and heart are with you and their families. Nothing touches me more than my fellow men putting their very lives on the line to make this world a better place. That kind of sacrifice is forever remembered in my heart and every loss touches me deep. I took the oath.....and I took it seriously. These men did not go in vain, for someone is living a better, richer life, because we Americans chose to sacrifice so much to spread our blessed livelihood across mankind. We've reshaped the world....and we should be proud that we have tried to make it a better place than what we found it.
God Bless those men; I mourn their passing. Semper Fidelis and my prayers are with all those who have sacrificed and lost so much dear to them in this crash.
