Message:: [QUOTE="splintercellsz, post: 1389144, member: 36235"]I have 3 people I would like to honor. Nevada National Guard Major Heath Kelly, 35Nevada National Guard Sgt 1st Class Miranda McElhiney, 31Nevada National Guard Sgt 1st Class Christian Riege, 38 All were close friends, due to my Father working along side them in the military. They were gunned down in Carson City at the Ihop on September 6, 2011. Here is a little thing I made, while sitting at the JFHQ in Carson, waiting for the services to take place.[ATTACH]165753.vB[/ATTACH] To all Current, and Former service members, I want to tell you THANK YOU. From one Military family to another. What you all endure on a daily basis goes ABOVE what anyone could do. You are all the reason that we are here today. And one day, I will be along side you all, my personal heros. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves under the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."~Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC [/QUOTE]
