ch47 crash in iraq, the aftermath, and why america is the greatest ...
It is also a reminder of what is truly important in life, and that our men and women in uniform are excellent people as well as soldiers. It is also a welcome respite from worrying about something you have no control over, like the economy, and being thankful you are not one of the ones who died, or one of those that had to deal with the aftermath... Throughout the last week, as my battalion faced the tragedy of seven fallen soldiers in a helicopter crash on September 18th, the Patriot Guard Riders were present at all events. I continue to be amazed at the dedication of the people in your organization. I did my best to thank as many of you as possible, but time did not allow. I wanted to share with you an e-mail that I sent out to the families of our deployed soldiers after a long week of funerals and memorial services. That e-mail is below and I encourage you to pass it on as appropriate. Well, its been a long two and a half weeks for our battalion. We were saddened and shocked with horrible news and have now said farewell to our fallen heroes. Its been emotionally draining and tiring for all involved, especially for those who lost a loved one on September 18th. Please forgive the long e-mail ahead, but I wanted to take some time and roll up my thoughts and share a few things with you. As I attended each funeral, I noticed many things that caught my attention. Many of them similar, some things different from one to another. There were seven flag-draped caskets, seven renditions of taps, seven 21-gun salutes, seven fly-overs, and seven families going through what is probably the most difficult time in their lives. While many things were similar, as is the custom of military honors, I took mental notes of the things that caught my eyes and ears at each event: We started in Kingston , Oklahoma last Saturday to honor CPL Thompson. Kingston is a small town near the Texas border and has all of the great qualities of a small rural town.
