POSTED ON 5.11.2018, POSTED BY: LUCY MICIK, THANK YOU. Dear Sgt Kenneth Devor,
Thank you for your service as an Armor Reconnaissance Specialist. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

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 the 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 in the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. Throughout our history America has been built on the blood of heroes and Brave Men of Honor like this Soldier. Thank you for your service, bravery, and for the ultimate sacrifice you have made. Thank you for my freedom. Rest well in God's loving embrace, brave soldier. You Sir, are a true American Hero who is remembered by a grateful Veteran. Dec 8, 2008.

MY COUNTRY'S FLAG CRIED the flag bowed its bars and wept starry tears as it hung at half-mast for a soldier's years. Another youth it had called and another youth had died. I stood and I watched as my country's flag cried. it clothed the drab coffin in it's red, white, and blue, silently protecting the contents for the comfort of a few. It brought strength to some, to others, bitter pride. But, as mourners filed by, my country's flag cried. As it rode to the field where the soldier was laid away, the flag recalled the pledge that he used to stand and say, but to war he went and to keep that pledge, he tried. As the guns fired their last salute, my country's flag cried. As taps rang out, it was folded with care, for the soldier's soul a Chaplain whispered a prayer. He asked god for peace in this world to abide, and in a grieving mother's arms my country's flag cried! Wednesday, September 07, 2005.

POSTED BY: CURT CARTER. REMEMBERING AN AMERICAN HERO. Dear Sir, As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned. May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you. With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir.
