I think there is no hero that deserves our praise more than our military, fighting for our freedoms and our rights to be on this very thread and doing what we do daily in each of our lives. They sacrifice for the common good and don't think twice, their families sacrifice in supporting their loved one's in what they do, being separated for such long periods of time and having their loved one absent from their daily lives while the rest of us go about ours.
To those who have fallen...you have paid the highest price and to you we owe the most respect, the highest gratitude and the highest degree of honor to.
You didn't do this for money, there was certainly no fame, no glory...you've done what you've done because you felt it was your duty, you believed in America, you were honored to defend her and her people, you believed in our freedom and the American way and put your lives on the line to prove it. You are the Best and we love you for what you have done! Freedom isn't free.
Cpl. Michael Craig Ledsome Cpl. Craig Ledsome, 24 of Austin, Texas, tragically died in combat fighting for his family and country on November 25, 2006. For Craig, life was about having fun and putting a smile on everyone's face around him. He could find something to laugh about in every situation. His family meant everything to him but the true joys of his life were his wife Megan and 2 yr old son, Caelub. Being part of the Marine Corps was his dream and something he knew he had to.
Semper Fi Craig!
To All Our Military...You are the Best...You are Amazing...We salute you and we support you and we love you! May God Bless you all and bring you all home safe and soon!
