There are these men, once a young and promising hope to many back home...what they have in common is just the same as what you had and will still have... but those that lost, lost their lives to make a difference out there....
Don't forget them...for they put themselves in harms way...at a choice but for us all and those that seek a better world with either investments or for a safer world...to live in...and its NOT OVER as yet and we almost forget these brave men, he could have been your brother, your son or your good dear buddy... please join this thread and give or shout out your heartful passion for their loss...just so you can make it with your Dinar Dream... by thinking of them sincerely too.
I'm not an American... but my heart goes for them who gave their lives just to save many more...including yours, somehow.
We salute and bid farewell to the brave men

I Salute You
This is close to home for me too. Not this soldier in preticular, God Bless his family, but so many of my freinds son's and a couple daughters as well as freinds of my son's and daughter's. Being a veterern myself I know the cost of bravery these individuals go thru. We have lost so many just around our State of Texas. My heart goes out for them all. God Bless them all.
We salute and bid farewell to the brave men

My prayers goes out to those that have died in battle and those familys that wont see there son/daughter, mom/dad.
After the reval and the dinar club is up and going, we should start a memorial fund for those that didnt make it._________________________________________

i have many servicemen and servicewomen come into my store on a daily basis, some days more than others, being a large port city like Sandiego, I always ask them if they have just goten back from Iraq and I tell them that I thank them for what they are doing, and have done. I remember viet nam although not old enough to have lived through as I was a young teenager and the way our military was treated when they came home was terrible.
at 40 plus years there's ,not much chance of me going into the service unless the marines let me in to make my pecs stand out rock hard abs and a mellon butt, then let me out. So I truly salute our Armed forces and wish them well and look forward to meeting them when they come to sandiego

Thanks Rob, Raditz and others for sure with more stats to prove just how much these brave men actually stood for and the rest of the world, (the criticizing LOT, incl. Govts) simply took for granted at the families tragic loss, coping with all they had put in... and they have to start ALL OVER again in anguish... while many just couldn't AT ALL...they are the bereiving sadness surrounding our freedom and luxury we thrive on...
Radtx came up with a great suggestion...just like those specialist "snipers" who left their dear ones behind, that community is sustained by funds & donations ...can we afford this humane gesture too...someday?
Of course we can... lets see... I chip in as first to lead... anyone after this...?
If someone wants to lead with the Admin, organising... etc , please step forward..I'm sure all of us and many more RC members to come will support your efforts to organise this humble feat... Let this be an ongoing thing, create a name...smallish in funds it may be for a start, all it matters are the funds gets created and someone makes contact with the State Dept and esp. a Senator too...(not sure if Sen. Murtha should be considered here ) and start a campaign calling others to participate!
