Never Forgotten – And Thank You …

Christopher Celiz is the most recent to die in Afghanistan. Too young, as were many before him. Success they say is a more stable Afghanistan, but when will Afghanistan be ready to fight on their own? 3,550 Casualties total, with these the most recent.

7/7/18 Maciel, Joseph, Corporal, Age 20, Hostile small arms fire/green on blue
4/30/18 Conde, Gabriel D. Specialist, Age 22 Hostile small arms fire
1/1/18 Golin, Mihail Sergeant 1st Class, Age 34, Hostile fire
We are fighting a war in Afghanistan to keep the terrorist from entering the United States to the degree that we are fighting to keep them where we fight.  Every time I see a story of a solider killed in combat, wounded in combat and trying to regain some sense of a normal life when he or she can no longer remain in the military my heart just loses a little of itself for the compassion

I feel for the family and loved ones left behind, and wondering where Our United States in which I live and my grandchildren will grow up in will be in 20 years.

I may not be here to see it, but this is my country.  I want every military man or woman, veteran who may read this throughout that I may not know you, but I pray everyday for your protection, our country’s protection “One Nation Under God”, and say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Please know that you matter greatly.

  1. We must always remember and thank those who have sacrificed themselves to guarantee freedom.
    I would like all young people to visit, for example, the Montecassino or Neptune war cemetery in Italy to reflect how much the conquest of freedom can cost in human lives.
