DHart...

I saw this the day you posted it and just by the words I knew what it was before I ever opened it...and I am sorry but I have been at a loss for words...

Your son is a true a hero because he was willing to die to help keep the rest of us free....and we as Americans can never repay him...or you.

May God grant you peace....Bob Makowski
 
My deepest and most sincere sympathy are with you and your family. God bless your son.
 
There is not much I can add. I feel great sadness for your loss and appreciation for the bravery that keeps freedom alive.

DHart,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I can truly sympathize with you as we have lost two brothers-in-law and my wife's father since July of this year. Although none were active military, the pain is the same. I will pray for you and your family.

Regards,

Chuck

Sympathies

My prayers and sympathies are with you & your family. As a retired soldier currently working at Fort Lewis, I know of the sacrifices our soldiers and their families in the service of our country. Please know, from my foxhole, your stepson did not die in vain, but in protecting our citizens and way of life.

Godspeed
