In memory of the fallen I have posted those I remember the most. Who are you remembering today Rallypoint?

Tonight I was lucky enough to give my sweet Lucy her bottle and put her to sleep after being away for 2 weeks. As I tried to move I felt as though Thor's hammer was on my lap. I could feel her breathing and the thump of her little heart beat. I was overwhelmed with love and i just sat there until my arm and leg went numb filled with love.

As I got up and placed her in the crib I gave thanks to the fallen who have offered my daughter the right to an education and to be free to follow any religion she chooses. She will grow up in a country where she will not be denied the right to vote or required to be covered or placed in an arranged marriage. As my daughter is only 9 months old I will give thanks on her behalf and my behalf to those who have sacrificed their lives for my daughter and the millions they didn't know and I will do my best to honor them and respect their sacrifice.

Let us remember and give thanks on this Memorial Day Weekend.

Sergeant First Class John Charles Strauser
ADV Team 43, HDQ, MACV Advisors, MACV Army Vietnam

I don't know anybody personally who paid the ultimate price but I will be standing a flag line with the Patriot Guard Riders.

I deploy with Chief Warrant Officer 2 Thalia S. Ramirez when she was a SPC. She was really a nice person and hard worker. She will be greatly miss

I love this. It is a great way to show our fallen comrades. I would just like to remember my old roommate. The KIA bracelet I bear everyday has his name on it.

One of the many I will be remembering yesterday, today and forever.

I have a couple of friends as well, but no pictures on my phone to post. But, thank you and God Bless.
