Every time I hear of an Indiana soldier being killed my stomach starts churning b/c my nephew is on his 2nd tour in Iraq! My sympathies and thanks go out to this Soldiers family.

Rest In Peace

Absent friends

Snow is falling down on this glorious land
colors fading, turning into white again
To fallen heroes angels sing, they cry their winter tears
endless mourning days will turn to years

So this is goodbye, I take leave of you and
spread your wings and you will fly away now, fly away now

Nothing on earth stays forever
but none of your deeds were in vain
Deep in our hearts you will live again
you're gone to the home of the brave

Hammerfall, Glory to the Brave.

It's hard for me to find the right words for a sad situation such as this.

Rest in peace. My prayers always include our troops serving in harm's way.
