The Journey.
No one walks alone. 
He will come and take your hand and lead you.
He will show the way to the edge of the light. one day your loved ones will take the same walk,holding his hand. He will hand them off to you in order for you to teach them how to soar and show others the way because no one walks alone.

Basser, I tried to "like this" but the like was gone.  I like it.  I also like Buck's post, and thank him for his service not only by him but for the sacrafices made by family and friends.

Always hard to see good Folks die at any age, let alone tragic and young. God Bless

Thank you John

for some reason or another I think about him a lot and especially on veterans day...I think about all my past brothers who lost their lives in all the wars they fought, this is what makes me close to all my fellow brother veterans.
